Imperfections in a singers voice aren’t bad they make them more unique and more human than tuning their voice with software but if you miss all your notes then your just a bad singer

I'm not sure exactly what kind of perfect pitch I have. I can identify any single note within a second (I can do multiple notes and chords too but they take a lot longer), but I might not notice if it's up to 35-ish cents out of tune, I can usually tell (not immediately) if it's close to in between 2 notes. And if i'm told to sing a note without a reference, I can within 35-ish cents, I tend to be a little flat for some reason. I noticed that pitch sounds a bit higher when I'm in a car, to the point where I'm like 50-80 cents off If I try to sing a note without a reference. I played an improperly tuned piano a few months ago, I knew that it wasn't tuned right, but I kept playing it anyway, and my pitch got temporarily messed up, I would do a perfect pitch test and I got a couple wrong, but after doing a few more pitch tests, I was able to correct it again, which makes me wonder if if I lose my perfect pitch, I might be able to correct it? I'm not really sure.

That color is turquoise. I did not need a comparison to identify it. I have perfect color 💀💀💀

video is great but please make the music a bit softer when ur talking

Really enjoyed this video, thanks! Learned a lot. 🙂

I'm not super bothered when I hear slightly sharp or flat music, I think it's quite interesting to hear something like a=432 when I listen to random instrumentalists on youtube, it definitely doesn't bother me as long as it's on tune

I really enjoyed your insightful and thorough analysis of WDTA!! The video was so good that I wished I'd come across it much earlier. The song has always been my favorite, but your presentation gave me a totally different appreciation towards it. I now can see how brilliantly Charlie executed the song, and I felt goose bumps a few times while watching this video.😂 THANK YOU for creating it, it is a rare quality that we don't see often enough❣💟💚

great work !! needs a lot of effort for the compilation of songs...Love from India🥰

In the past great singers not only sang on pitch but would add expression by subtly altering pitch. That's why there were fewer than now. Being a mediocre auto-tuned singer isn't a great feat. Much of expression in music is purposely altering pitch.

Why isnt anyone doing song tutorials formatted like this?!

Comit5?

Hi, does this chord have a name? E.g. C10?

I don’t think I have the perfect pitch, but I feel very uncomfortable when a (guitar) musician in a band play a wrong tone or the tone is not in tune. It is like when I read false scriped words.

It seems to me that almost everyone of theses young und doubtlessly talented musicians has a blind spot of ignorance. And I can´t find that perfect pitch does grant musical feeling. Your guitar buddy ist a good example - he has remarkable technical skills, but his improvisation is meanigless and without any musical idea behind it, although from a theoretical point of view all these notes he is playing may fit in the harmonic schedule. All guitarists who are refusing to use capos do not understand the benefits of this tool and cut themselves off from really nice sonic possibilities. The G major chord, played with a capo on the 3rd fret, is of course a Bb major chord - but sounds so much more open ans shiny than a bar chord on the 1st or 6th fret. And gives you completely different possibilities for picking patterns. (I must admit that I rarely use a capo on an electric guitar, but even this can make sense from time to time, especialliy if you work in studio and want to create layers an soundscapes.) Edit: I think "spots of ignorance" may have to do something withe the fact that, once you established a YT channel, you are a content creator and are forced to regularly create content to keep the whole thing running. This leads to the temptation to talk about subjects where your experience, skills and knowledge are not certified.

good video, thank you! It was very interesting. The only thing i don't get is why and how different guitar tunnings and capos are affected by perfect pitch. What i'm saying is that at my best, i have a mid-level relative pitch, and i still hate alternate tunnings and capos and i absolutely suck at them :)) Nice note to end the video on, tough!

I'm sorry but what was your point with tuning differently? That it's frustrating to play with a different tuning when you're not used to it? This is how guitar tuning works, duh! We use shapes and patterns when we play, same with improvising. We have a fix pattern that we use for learning. And if you change that, of course it's going to throw the majority off unless you're experience in that tuning. Take Mark Holcomb for example. In the newest Periphery album he used an unusual tuning for one song, and in order to do that he basically had to re-learn the note placements on the fretboard. It's not easy and requires a lot of work, just like when you switch to a different tuning you'll need practice if you want to navigate across the notes with precision.

I definitely don't have perfect pitch, but I can tune my cello without a reference - I find it easier to do it by my own ear than with a reference. I think it's to do with the quality of the sound rather than the actual note, and I don't think I could do it with someone else's cello. 👌

There are a ton of old recordings where the notes are tuned pretty clearly between the half steps... I wonder what people with perfect pitch really feel like when listening to those awkward things...

I think there are a lot of 'levels' of 'perfect' pitch. Like you say, it's never 100%. Then you have the quasi-absolute pitch. Then you have the recognition of a note from the instrument timbre. Other thing, like you sing in pitch, but that may also be partly linked to recognition and the timbre of your voice, or the feeling it gives while singing. The aging thing is true I think. I never had real perfect pitch I think, but when I was younger, when I had to say the note without reference, I was more correct or at least close than now (I may have had quasi-absolute pitch because what you do is familiar, but now it's not always correct anymore). Also another factor I think is how long someone 'remembers' the reference tone and if someone sings, if he stays in pitch or not, or if you're annoyed if the choirs pitch shifts down (again), although this also includes other skills than just the hearing part. When the choir director decides to sing a song like a tone lower, it's difficult for me because the notes on the paper don't match what needs to be sung, while most of the other choir members don't even notice that the director decided that if he didn't say it, except maybe in the sense of 'I had less problems with the high notes'. I may not immediately be triggered when the director gives the first note one tone lower, but after singing a few measures, I will notice and struggle. In that case, I need to transpose the notes in my head one tone lower to be able to sing it correctly, even if I'm singing with the words (because even if I sing with words, I still rely on the notes for the melody, while I think other choir members like better 'memorize' the melody than I do, without thinking the notes anymore, but I can sing better on sight), making it hard of course. But since I don't seem to have real perfect pitch, or at least not as perfect as is shown by people with perfect pitch, I think the voice timbre and feeling when you sing a note plays a big role too, and than training could make a difference. Or it's still just the quasi-absolute pitch, I'm not sure. The tuner thing is difficult to use as a way to know I think. You may need to tune without reference, and some orchestra's tune 440, or 441, or 442, and other times, there is a piano accompaniment, and you may need to tune 438 or 439. Also it may be handy to verify individual notes with a tuner, since being able to do this without tuner tells more about your musical skills than if you have perfect pitch or not, since perfect pitch is not 100%. Relative pitch should be as good for that if you know the distances.

Everything was going well until the last point you made. Adam Neely clearly said that not only perfect pitchers will loose their ability to identify pitches, but the rest of their life will be affected too, as in pretty much everything they will listen... Will suck. So using your hockey analogy, it seems to me like if that player not only stopped playing for natural reasons, but also can't watch a game, can't watch his best moments, and everything seems out of place. So I guess it's a bit more than that. Anyways, good video! You got me engaged for the first 12:40 min lol.

I like u , ur cool

I reacted to what you said about the comparison with colors, which I don't find very accurate. In daily life we have far fewer colors than pitches. Comparing seeing the difference of red and green is basically equivalent to hear the difference of the pitches 200 and 5000Hz, which no one needs a reference note to do. The human ear have a range of about 10 octaves = 120 different notes in TET. Can you reliably distinguish between so many colors in different situations? If we divide the visible spectrum evenly in red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and violet, you would need to distinguish between 17 shades of each of those colors.

I hate how often frankie gets screwed over. Not only is this a great example, but Beggin' was originally his song before it got covered by 2 different artists and got blasted into the mainstream through tiktok

❤😂😅

The first song I ever recognized this progression from was Servant of Evil

Adam had sources for his conclusion, you do not. Therefore, your conclusion is TRASH.

I've got perfect pitch. I was tested when I was 11, and I was pleasantly surprised. Seems like it's very common with blind people.

2 years later to Adam's video and 1 year later to yours. you picked up on the topics I wanted to talk about too, but left it to something else. I can't read notes nor will I ever (i'm bad at learning languages), but I can pick up sounds. just not vietnamese, lmao. but i did receive compliments from the choir teacher that i can immediatelly reach the right key as soon as i start singing (it did wreck my throat afterwards, because I prefer to sing in a lower and actually my voice range otherwise i wrack my throat). i love listening to music, I hope i just die before losing my senses tbh xD. I don't know if i have any kind of pitch since I'm untrained and i'm afraid i'll become over confident... i mean, i met at least 2 people with perfect pitch (tho one of them was online and I couldn't test their skills out), still it was a magical moment for me.

I wonder... I may have perfect pitch, or some form of it, but because I never learned the names of notes or anything I can't utilize it. I can tune my guitars without using a tuner, or only using one for the first string then I can get all of the others from there. I can usually sing in the correct key, or at least in the closest that my voice can get to, but usually need to hear the instrumental of the song while I'm singing unless I've heard the song dozens of times. I don't know if this is memorization, autistic pattern recognition (because I have autism), relative pitch, or perfect pitch, or what. But it's interesting. I can also tell a very clear difference between different versions/recordings of the same song by the same band for instance, and perceive extremely minor variations and errors in timing (down to 3ms), pitch, etc. The problem is this sometimes takes me out of the music itself and forces me to analyze the differences before I can properly enjoy it, as well as constantly making me frustrated when I try to play a song myself because I can hear what I am doing wrong, I can tell what I need to do to fix it, but because I also have dyspraxia it's incredibly difficult to get my fingers to do what I want them to, and eventually I just lose the motivation to even try.

I believe I have perfect pitch. However, I had trouble identifying the chord at the beginning. I think I should probably work on developing my relative pitch a little more. I could still tell individual notes in the chord.

You forgot Maroon 5's Goodnight Goodnight, that has the same rhymes there. Also as a songwriter, this I can confirm

didn't sound condescending. it's experience vs theory - an opinion based on projecting oneself into another means of perception ... he hasn't experienced perfect pitch so can't know it's upside. And like love, it could be better to had it and lost it than to never have had it at all 😉 ...maybe under it all Adam's just a little heartbroken? 😢 🤗

That you have perfect pitch and work as a music teacher PROVES how useless it is.

now you should do the same but with songs in which the chords turn clockwise (e.g. Hey Joe)

Nice video of the day.❤🎉. 1:05 .

It’s all about perspective My friend has perfect pitch and went with me to SWACDA (Southwest American Choral Directors Association) in High School to compete at a semi National level and took a solo for bass in his audition He hates his perfect pitch because he can’t enjoy the music with anyone other than highly experienced singers and he simply doesn’t often have that access For him to enjoy the music he has to practice like he’s around other people who are spot on without ever being able to actually practice around people regularly He also enjoys perfect pitch for other reasons There are tons of reasons why you could say (for or against) that perfect pitch is something someone wouldn’t want As to your point, or more accurately your entire video, you seemed to be under the impression that the concept of why someone may not like perfect pitch was more than an interpretation and closer to a projection of an opinion. (There’s a life lesson in your video that holds true and shouldn’t be lived down. However, using a talent or ability is in a person’s best interest only when they benefit from it.) That being said, UA-cam is built for that type of content but the style of the video itself just doesn’t resonate with me. The examples were picky to say the least. As far as Charlie Puth goes, he has openly stated that he has had to learn how to be more on pitch using autotune. You can have perfect pitch and still not be able to be ON pitch when you’re singing. It’s just annoying. The purpose of recording it at all is just to show people you can do it because they’re asking. He doesn’t brag about it and project his ability to hit any note perfectly, that would be entirely different. Whatever the case, I understand thinking like a kindergarten teacher and translating what ideas are in your head into a different language. Teaching is habitual. You teach one way for a long time and it bleeds into your teaching style. I won’t harp anymore but I will offer my advice. Consult with two people who can help you with the video when it’s semi-controversial. One person who agrees with the premise and one person who disagrees with the premise who both have experience with the topic. (I understand you have experience but you are inadvertently biased.) If you can include a short dialogue or both sides in some fashion simultaneously it can strengthen your case or even viewpoint or argument.

The closest thing I have that Adam even talks about is heightened tonal memory (aka the Levitin Effect).

In many of these pitch videos, no one is really addressing why music is considered music. It certainly isn’t being able to identify a single tone. It’s the sound of intervals between single tones, and intervals between those intervals, and intervals between those intervals.

most supposed "perfect pitch" musicians were some of the worse people to work with in my experince. not all of them by any means but many were impatient, which is understandable, but they couldnt adapt on the fly, they couldn't handle the real avant garde stuff that messed with the rules. stuff where we detuned guitars while we played them or used non musical items to create sound, non-western notation and mircotonal drones. This they either couldnt tolerate or became like everyone else, with no advantage.

I'm Italian and I approve this video

I have perfect pitch, but if the chords are too complex or notes fly past too quickly I have a more difficult time identifying it. It's honestly just evidence that while perfect pitch is something you either have or don't have, it is definitely on some sort of a spectrum

love the lawsuit piece of this video

Bright TV News And PUBLIC SERVICE Newscast

Every single song selection ***chef's kiss***

Nice one! Well put together

dis video is baesd and gud

This is gonna be big Happy to be here at only 420 views

Just discovered your video a year and some change later as I was looking for more songs to add to my mode mixture playlist. As a kid/teen, I especially loved R&B and pop songs with mode mixture in the chorus, but didn't have the vocabulary to describe it until college theory classes. Some songs on my list include Can't Let Go- Mariah Carey. Take a Bow- Madonna, Please Dont Go- Boyz II Men, Sex and Candy- Marcy Playground. Thanks for the reminders on some others I forgot!

thought this was bigger then it was good video
