zigzag Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I know what every note sounds like before my finger lands there...... My advice is take an ear training class and learn how to sing the notes before executing them..... It really helps with improvising..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXzgWTZ2NW0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Ear Training- Hearing Intervals Nice! I know the exact notes they are playing so I got a perfect score on all of them. But I can see how this would be a big help, especially when they play the notes at the same time. What I need help on is phrasing on the guitar. I do pretty well on the piano but I'm not there on guitar yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 rocket! Question: How is your perfect pitch tuned? A= 440 Hz? 432? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Nope. A person with true perfect pitch can't listen to music because it drives them nuts. I hear a note and I know what it is, but I'm not that sensitive to fine frequency changes. My music teachers asked me a zillion questions of how I do it. For example, they wondered if I see "colors" with each note. I don't. I really have no idea how I know. The only bad part is that my brain is always "writing" out the music when I hear a tune. I can't just simply sit back and enjoy music. I think everyone can learn relative pitch, which is something different. This is done by starting with a given pitch and determining the next note. I make them try to sing an interval. I start them out by singing the major scale and them pick out the note from the scale. Most people I teach this approach to get it down pretty easily.

milod Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I can see why RM's teachers had him listen to Louis A. Whether playing trumpet or singing, the phrasing and improv were special. I can see how "knowing" notes might constrain one. Ever just say the heck with it and sing scat while chording on keys or guitar? m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
