Well, I know what perfect pitch is... and you're right if you're implying that sharper skills than perfect pitch are neccesary to do this the way Bumblefoot does here. This is something at a whole new level. I really don't know if he has perfect pitch, but I believe he does even if he doesn't say it explicitly. You could say that anyone could do this by relative pitch, but what Bumblefoot is doing here requires one to have memorized the tones in the fret-board (is it an open or a fretted note?, was it the fifth played on the 14th fret or the fourth on the 9th fret?). Plus, you have to take into account the specific articulation (bend, slide, prebend, sweep, etc) per note! To me one needs perfect pitch plus a lot of other aural skills to achieve this, and I'm pretty sure he knew by heart what each one of those tones were.
Viruscerbero Actually, it would be hell for someone with perfect pitch, since guitar is not a 'tuned' instrument. For some reason, people with perfect pitch only seem to focus on things that are out of tune. Very few accomplished musicians have perfect pitch. Most of them have the more useful one that anyone can learn, which is relative pitch.
Uhm.. I have to disagree with the part that it would be a hell for someone with perfect pitch to play the guitar. I mean, what about the piano? pianos are also out of tune. Actually, any instrument that is intended to play harmonies in different tonalities will be out of tune.. It's a compromise that Equal Temperament introduces to solve the problem of playing in different keys with the same instrument. And by the way, have you noticed the fretless guitar that Bumblefoot loves to play? Maybe it is because he can play really in tune with that ;)

Ron é foda! ♡♡
he aint guessing
True
That's Perfect Pitch taken to a virtuoso extreme!
That's not perfect pitch. Knowing exactly where in the neck the notes are being played is completely different.

Viruscerbero People that play non tempered instruments have better pitch perception.
guitar guru
Good pitch??
Good pitch? Heh. This guy could probably tell you how to fret the noise your garbage disposal makes.
It's not that hard, you can learn that ;)
+GrooveShredLearn i can get the chords by ear but the way he is actually describing the fingering is crazy
