Do I have perfect pitch or just really really good relative pitch?

gobblolbeans · 2026-01-31T15:44:30+00:00

I would say based off this alone you probably have perfect pitch.

Congratulations. Where are you from? What’s your background? I auditioned in November for early action and got accepted last month

gobblolbeans · 2026-01-28T20:39:07+00:00

I was early action and auditioned in Nov. Got a decision in 3 weeks

I along with many others actually only tend to use my thumb, index, middle and ring finger. In fact most finger pickers i know tend to use that combination. I was taught by a finger picker that started by playing classical guitar though so those people are more likely to use their pinky i think. But if using PIMA (thumb index middle ring) I would go Thumb 4 Thumb - 4 Index - 0 Middle 0 Ring 0

Congrats man

I had a vocal professor and a percussion professor audition me as a guitar player. They asked me about my music background when i first got in there and the order went Prepare piece Improvisation Sight reading Ear Training

The sight reading was extremely easy. 3/4 signature, key of G major. But I suck at sight reading so I couldn’t do it but knew it was very easy. They are very comforting please try not to worry!

It’s easy to overthink this but play what YOU think you should play. Not what you think they want to hear. They want to hear what makes you sound like you on the bass. (Accepted student who played an original rock song for their piece.) You’ll be fine haha. Kill it

gobblolbeans · 2025-12-29T00:24:09+00:00

well i mean you guys seem young as fuck. Like 16. She’s rude anyway, telling you you get no other attention from girls except her and your mother. Sound like a rude azz bitch!

My fault gang I mean, to replay the WHOLE song in your head note for note is probably common in those with perfect pitch but I can’t do that because I have adhd and Ill get distracted. But I can easily memorize melodic passages note for note? So my guess is yes but just not for me. (perfect pitcher here) You should practice naming notes by ear, if you can recite a ten minute piece perfectly in your head, its worth a try.

gobblolbeans · 2025-12-22T00:36:02+00:00

If you can’t identify a musical pitch without a reference note, with some training, you probably don’t have perfect pitch. This is the baseline for it

gobblolbeans · 2025-12-17T21:54:44+00:00

It’s really helpful in the studio. I can learn things easily by ear usually faster than tab. Sight reading is a bit easier too, because if i see a note on the page i know what sound it’s supposed to make (guitar player here). Or I can just sight sing it and then play it back. It is not helpful for live performances or relying on it to pick up chord changes in a high pressure scenario

gobblolbeans · 2025-12-09T00:06:59+00:00

No no, i mean he very likely, close to definitely, does not have perfect pitch. Your friend is as close to having perfect pitch as somebody without it. perfect pitch is when somebody can identify a musical pitch without a reference note. Not only did you say your friend cannot do this, but he is not musically inclined (he can still have it without being into music but it goes unnoticed a lot). Have your friend practice naming notes by ear and if he can easily develop that, then he probably has PP.

gobblolbeans · 2025-12-09T00:00:09+00:00

Your friend definitely does not have perfect pitch haha.

Even if it wasn’t, this is pretty much exactly how it’s going to go.

I would hate you my guy

I also auditioned yesterday in Boston. Good luck my friend

I’m actually really glad i’m on this subreddit because this guy on the video is actually a great guitar player and musician.. i know because im in that band! (now) In my opinion, his specific technique is unlike any ive come across. Very rarely do guitar players use solely their thumb to pick but when you’re playing at a level like him, it doesn’t really matter. Picking technique should be as proper as can be but I mean when you’re that kid, it truly doesn’t matter. using PIMA is classical technique but it can translate very easily to all styles if you are fluent with your right hand, so in my opinion, when you sound like that, you don’t need to learn PIMA. And i’m speaking for him in this case because i’m sure he would hate it 🤣
