if you can tune to the exact cent representation (equal tempered) then that is pretty damn impressive. if you can tune to around about the right semitone, that is less impressive but still a nice skill to have.

You have relative pitch, meaning that you can tell the note based on a comparison. This is common, and can be learned. Absolute (perfect) pitch is being able to name a note upon simply hearing it, with no reference at all. Your brain just knows intrinsically what 440hz sounds like, and therefore you always can identify an A.

There are a couple of requirements. They say that you cant have any external references too...

I have this too. I can always hear most notes in my head and then use them to compare with other notes that I'm exposed to. It takes me awhile to figure it out.

Congrats man!

If you can tune without using any external tools (a tuner, a piano, etc.) then you have it too. The only way you can tune a string to E, for example, is if you can produce the sound of an E note in your head and know that it is an E.

If you know just 1 note in your head, then you at least have quasi-perfect pitch. You can use that 1 note to figure out any other note, using relative pitch


umm you realise any decent guitar/bass player can tune without external tools right? you just play an E or whatever on another string and then adjust the other string until they match...

im pretty skeptical of perfect pitch anyway, when I mess around with my bass just playing random shit trying to come wiht with a cool bass line or something and im playing random notes ill play a note without looking at the fretboard and be like wow that was an E etc.. "perfect pitch" can just come from enough practice imo...

I didn't know that that was considered to be perfect pitch... most of my friends who are experienced piano players can "figure out" pitches... I've always considered perfect pitch to be able to name a note on the fly, without comparing it to something else.

- if u can speak a tonal language (i.e. mandarine, cantonese, and to a lesser degree vietnamese) ur likelihood of having perfect pitch is 9 times greater than if you speak a non-tonal language (e.g English) - in other words language itself can be enough training for perfect pitch (if learned early enough)
but yeah training in music helps too : )

You probably think you have me all figured out. You probably also think that after reading a few posts of mine on a website, you have a great deal of insight in my life. This is a very naive belief and I hope that you reform it, or that at least it does not seep into your life in person, because it is one of the defining traits of an idiot - someone who thinks they are smarter or more insightful than they really are.

I just respond to what you post on this website (which usually seems like bunch of rubbish to me) -- nothing more and nothing less. I cannot claim to have you figured out. It seems like YOU are the one making the assumptions, labeling me an idiot and claiming that I am really less smart than I think I am.

That's being in tune with each other, but if none of the strings are in concert pitch to begin with then you won't get shit tuned properly.

I can always tell if a note is off key, but I can't name which is which.
You can train yourself to have perfect pitch by playing notes on the piano and memorizing them or something, but some people are born with this ability.


When I say tune my guitar, I mean I can get the pitches exactly right (EADGBE), it's not just in tune to itself.

For the OP to acquire actual perfect pitch, he needs to gain similar familiarity with every other note in the equal temperament as he has with the D. With a very thorough familiarity, even differences in timbre (E on a guitar opposed to the same note on a piano) will not throw him off. Eventually, with enough familiarity, he will be able to tell the pitch of a clap or someone talking.
Hypothetically, at least.
