I don't have perfect pitch at all - if you asked me to sing a Bb flat with no reference note I'd have no idea.
But my command of relative pitch has improved enormously over the years, both in terms of identifying intervals/chord types and being able to sing intervals in relation to a reference pitch.
Some of this came about through ear training, transcription, and simply working out what I heard in my head. I also did some work with the David Burge relative pitch course, which helped a great deal. In fact I should go back to this and complete it.

quick straw poll....
if i played you a note , any old note unnamed
and asked you to sing a minor third above it
how many of us could do it ?

Every musician should be able to this. If you can't, you're tone deaf and not a musician yet....or you're a drummer.

I never met a musician who regretted not having perfect pitch, and considered lack of it was any type of musical liability.

[QUOTE=cosmic gumbo;360194]Actually, some of the best musicians I ever met were drummers,
but let's not derail the thread.
I wouldn't think of derailing the thread by stating something like that. Would you??
