I think some individual's musical aptitude and subsequent talent may be rightly called gifted, but I don't believe a concept of perfect pitch is anything much more than an inconsistent, vague, confusion. I've never even read a complete and coherent definition of the concept. I know, a little off topic, but I got's to be me.

Would their perfect concert pitch A be 440Hz? Concert pitch is arbitrary and the current standard is very recent, historically ranging over a half octave in Western music the last few centuries.
Would their perfect pitch be our current standard temperament? Historically there have been over two dozen temperaments, a few used widely in Western music the last few centuries. Twelve tone equal temperament (12TET) is recent and not universal (see below).
Next time you suspect someone has perfect pitch, ask them its concert pitch and its temperament relative to modern standard.

I liked the tunes well enough. I think my kids would like it more.
They like stuff like this
-
How many of you guys listened to the whole record? you realized there are 2 tracks based on Miles tunes? another one is a Bb blues with bulerias flamenco groove, another has McCoy quartal harmony...etc? or just sounds like random alien noises over a drum loop? LOL

Wow, you must be a blast at parties... Originally Posted by pawlowski6132

I would prefer it (the genre, not op's music) be less electronic oriented. A real drummer can just do things no amount of programming can do.
-
Thanks vinragelove, actually finishing now the next lofi album which has real drums and perc recorded and mixed with the programming, some gospel based tunes too, different guitars, archtop, strats... a bit more crazy LOL
-
I did not listen to the whole thing. It's well played, well recorded and well mixed. It fits the genre you were trying to play, but that genre doesn't grab me. Originally Posted by Basshead

It's worth putting timestamps in a list (rather than track numbers) in the youtube description before each track name, youtube creates links to the start of each track which is very useful in a long album like this.
e.g. just put:
0:00 First track title
3:15 Second track title
etc.
As long as the tracks are listed on separate rows like this, youtube does the rest.

Oh ok, I do this albums just for fun but yeah, be cool to separate the tracks on YT, will see how can I do it, did not think about it, cheers!

You're over complicating it. Perfect pitch is exactly that. Perfect. However, with age, it drifts. Originally Posted by pauln

What do you mean by perfect pitch? Originally Posted by pawlowski6132

I dont have talent and I can prove it, so if talent exists I dont care anyway, anyone can develop amazing technique, just go to intagram, anyone can know everything about music theory, just go on YT, anyone can memorize repertory, just go to a conservatory, but the most important thing at the end of the day is your time feel and ears and you can train that to death even if we totally deftone and with terrible timing (rushing like hell) like I used to be

This music is more fun for the performer.... But there are also listeners who love this genre of music.

If you had it, you could internalize a pitch perfectly. You would know it when you heard it, you could sing it. Originally Posted by pauln

no

Very dope stuff here man. I’m a long time sampling beat maker that has within the past 4 years really gone heavy on learning jazz guitar…so the vibe is completely on point for me.
Just out of curiosity it would interesting to know what guitar you’re using and your signal chain and any pedals you might be using.
