    I only have relative pitch, but I have a way of faking perfect pitch. I know that my vocal range cuts out at a low C (i.e it ceases to be a recognizable note once I sing that low). So if I need to identify a note, I sing down from it in a scale until it cuts out (at C) and I identify the note based on the interval between it and my low C. Also, the lowest note I can sing in fallsetto is a G, and my whistling has a "voice crack" between A and C, which are more reference points. Of course, it depends on how well I am singing (and my range extends lower when I have a cold), but this technique is accurate ±1 semitone.

      You can't just take this guy's ideas as gospel. Even Rick himself doesn't seem to realize that if he wanted to, he could use that pitch imagery he talks about in this video to develop his ear to the point that he can actually hear and identify pitches more or less instantly. It just takes consistent time and practice. Eventually, he wouldn't even need to think of the songs to remember the notes.
      Further than that, there's another way to tap into the ability to hear pitches as having distinct characteristics that distinguish them. It's not magic and it's not rocket science. Though it does involve the science of how frequencies and harmonics work.

    I have absolute pitch and my memory sucks. I play the piano, and since I began to study so much pieces at the same time that I had to develop sight reading, it became so hard for me to learn a piece by memory. I also have problems with short term memory and attention. I have even tried to hide my absolute pitch to my teachers, because I feel we are expected to be geniuses, and I am far from being one of those.

      I wanted to respond to you even though you posted three years ago. I have a theory that people who are good at sight-reading aren't good at memorization. I don't think the brain is willing to do something that it doesn't have to do. I am an amateur pianist and play only for my own enjoyment. I never learned how to sight-read well. But I can memorize music fairly easily. But if music is very easy and I am able to sight-read it, I can't memorize it.

      @@Vitobandito434 Beth, this is an interesting take, I have that too. I'm great with recollection, reproduction, etc., but I've always been pretty slow at live sight reading (I can do changes ok). I always felt similarly - it's so much more work for me to read and process all that than to just internalize the tune and then "know" it. In my recent youtube vids, for instance, i just learned everything by ear because it's so much less work for me that way - but if you look at my Love to Me guitar transcription, I had to definitely consult the sheet music to get those chords & figures right, and even the composer himself was like "you missed this descending cello line because you were stuck in the notes on the page" LOL
      However, I don't think this is for any reason other than that I started learning to read music WAY late in life (17ish), and I didn't continue on a classical training track, so my theory is all learned by ear and/or self taught. I think sheet music is just another form of written language, and once you know it, reading it is just as simple as anything else. So, I think this can be significantly developed in adults as well - but your caveat about the brain taking whatever shortcuts necessary is very salient! I think we ought to just provide the brain with as much context and training as possible, so it can always find the shortest route available using all tools we choose to develop & provide to ourselves. Become a lifelong learner, as Neil deGrasse Tyson says :)
      I don't mean to rant, but I also think a revolution in the way we LEARN and TEACH can open up WORLDS of possibility for learning "perfect" pitch. Look at how Jacob Collier taught himself so much, just by learning thru a different system & being surrounded by support and relevant expertise. I believe all can attain such a relationship with learning.

      the purpose of music is to express what is in your innermost being, not to impress people. John Coltrane worked his butt off to be able to share what he heard spiritually. He never had perfect pitch, but if PP is 1 in 10,0000, his ability was one in several billion.

    Rick.....here's a concept you may have not thought about.....I am a pilot.....as you can probably deduce. The FAA does not often get it right but there is one topic they DO get it right. They describe the definition of learning as .......learning is a change of behavior from the result of experience. There is a class all flight instructors must take.....it's called the fundamentals of instruction (FOI). If one passes that (I did many years ago) then you can do more than learn....you can "teach". As a flight instructor you have many responsibilities. One may be considered as life saving. Learning music could be as important....I say it is. But if you would pass the fundamentals of instruction class you can teach in the school system because you may understand the principles of learning and can pass that on to others. I personally say that learning is paying attention to someone that can do it better than you. Teaching is to pass the knowledge on to another. Your lessons inspire me and I am learning a lot of things that give me insight. Thank you so much for your efforts and care that you can pass along what you are good at to others. Keep up the good work my friend! I have gotten a lot out of it.......just wish I could have the ear that Dylan has! Maybe......It's better with your help!

      Thanks AWitty (I wish people would at least sign their name when they say something nice :) You know, I used to think that once a person hit 40, they weren't able to learn anymore but I am over 50 and learning or relearning an incredible amount through my re education on music. I used to be a college music professor and quit teaching in 1992 and have since focused on music production leaving all of my serious training behind. When I was having my first child (Dylan) I made me want to provide him and all my children with a great musical environment like what my parents were able to provide for me. I never though I could remember all I have learned but not only has I come back completely, I am light years beyond that because ef all the other knowledge I have accumulated over the past 25 years. This is my forum for a brain dump and a place where I hope that I can ignite or reignite the passion for learning serious music and musical concepts for everyone. Btw, it just occurred to me that I don't like flying maybe because I don't really understand it kind of like jazz for most people. I need to do some studying on that :) Thanks you so much for sharing your experience. Best, Rick

      Rick Beato Flying is far more safe than driving.....mostly because as a general rule there are no other pilots or airplanes involved in mishaps. What may cause your fear is misunderstanding WHY an airplane does fly. First it is important to realize that air is just as fluid a water....just 14 times less dense. What you breath is actually fluid. An airplane flies much like a boat "planes". Thrust overcomes drag and the "flow" of air over the top of the wing creates a low pressure the flow over the bottom of the wing creates high pressure. When you get enough flow in both areas it causes lift. When the thrust overcomes drag and the lift over comes the weight the airplane flies. What causes turbulence is flow of air over terrain and lifting columns of air from the radiation of heat from the sun reacting with different colors of terrain. So the columns of rising air are dissimilar. So the result in the seat of your pants is the airplane following those dissimilar rising columns making the airplane move up and down, much like the flow of water effects a leaf in a stream....the leaf follows the flow. It's just that simple. Once you realize the airplane will not fall out of the sky the comfort level increases. It may be an uncomfortable RIDE from the above but it will not just stop flying. Hopefully that will help your thinking the next time you get in an airplane. I was scared stiff when I first started flying....afraid of heights....believe it or not. But science answered a few questions for me and I got better at tolerating the fear of heights. The turbulent air sort of goes away when you get much higher. I routinely fly at 45,000' and for the most part it is rarely bumpy up that high. But the fear thing kicks in once in awhile. hehe...Maybe I'm being punished for the things I did in high school! Have a great day sir and thank you so much for all the effort you put into teaching. A lot of what you teach is still over my head but I'm learning....and changing my behavior as a result! :-)

I wonder whether those would only be instrumental or not. Thoughts?

    When i ear a do i ear in my mind do.both sounds and words (does dylan ear names too? or he reconise notes in a different way?)..same goes for all the whites notes..but if i'm earing not natural notes like for ex do diesis si bemolle i ear just do si ..I can remember all the notes anytime ..Does that makes any sense? It is like that since I was a child..Is it possible to correct it now?

      Hi Fanora- Perfect pitch, according to most of the studies you will read, can be developed in the first 6 years of life. All of the people I have interviewed over the last 10 years with it, knew before they were 4.

    At the end a little more practical advise for non-music teachers to still make use of this educational concept and brain stimuli would be useful. Not that it is a must, we can also do some research ourselves, just would have made it a better finish line still.
    In addition to the memory of a sound even (below?)-average singers can develop a memory of the feeling a note has, what kind muscles are used and so on to achieve note x. Much like forming a word. It surely is less reliable as "base line pitch" can vary sometimes but I find it amazing how sometimes you just go "I do not know what a c should sound like but last times I sang it, it felt like this..."

    one thing about concert pianists being able to speak multiple languages and being able to memorize a lot of music, what kind of languages you speak matters more than how many you speak. A lot of European languages are similar, if you're able to speak Spanish for example, I heard you can still understand like 30~50% of Italian, Portuguese. Also English is pretty similar in syntax and grammar, with Spanish. I guess, for a westerner to learn 3~4 of European languages
    just as hard for an East Asian to learn a European language and vice-versa. I myself is Korean, I often find it intriguing how Japanese grammar is similar to that of Korean, but also how very different it is from English. Japanese writing system is one of the hardest to learn in the world. Whereas Europeans (except maybe Russians) only need to know the Roman alphabet to learn other European languages. Also, Chinese, Vietnamese are hard for Japanese and Koreans to learn cause they're tonal whereas J, K are not, and the difference in syntax and grammar.
    So, if you're able to speak 6 languages from various regions in the world you could be language genius. But if you know 6 European languages, you could still be considered smart, but not something to brag about as if you're a language genius.
    And also about concert pianists playing lots of music from memory. I think that's because it's their profession, which they dedicated their entire lives to. It's not like they're geniuses or something.

    Rick, growing up in the 80s playing guitar I used to see an ad every month in the magazines for a Perfect Pitch course from a guy called David Lucas Burge. Have you ever heard of his course and if so would there be any point to taking such a course? Love your channel by the way, I am particularly interested because I have twins (16 months old) and an 8 year old. This is fascinating stuff but not sure at the moment how to effectively get them exposed to the high complexity music in an efficient way that they will get the benefit.

    Musicians train their ears to listen for certain sounds including music scales & different chords. There is 1 piece of music by the Beatles back in 1968 "A Hard Day's Night" which starts with John Lennon playing a guitar chord before getting into the melody. To this day nobody figured out the chord that was played.

    ignore your current language when learning perfect pitch and imagine the sounds you hear as letters spoken from some ambient being of music.
    and let this ambient being talk to u.
    you will remember more thinking this way trying to learn the pitches.
    DON'T LEARN PERFECT PITCH THROUGH A VISUAL

Does that mean my brain gets the "quality" of the notes or something?

  • @ObeseGuineaPigs

    Hey, I noticed a picture of Jimi Hendrix on your wall in your first video. He had perfect pitch yet never knew much music theory. Why do you think so many musicians, specifically mainstream guitarists don't know music theory? And because of this pattern do you think knowing music purely by ear and not theory is the best way?

    • @kylezo
      @kylezo 3 роки тому

      Jacob Collier has suggested that he suspects we teach music incorrectly, and that theory should always be secondary to harmony & sonic structure. So, I'd say theory is an extremely important TOOLKIT to support musical brilliance like w/ Jimi or Jacob (obviously Collier uses all tools), but is far from the most important component to musical "literacy".

    • @Taco_Burrito39
      @Taco_Burrito39 3 роки тому

      14, sorry its been one year already but id say no because C# is far from C in the circle of fifths if you got something like a G or an F id say good job
      But then if someone was testing me perfect pitch and got C id just say i was one note away
      But
      its been one year of me training my pitch i actually learned all octave intervals for my relative pitch
      But for my perfect pitch
      I actually learned
      G
      E
      Db
      I learned G from playing G so much in my ukulele
      But since i know G
      I can pull of also G C E A the ukulele tuning
      And for E
      Its guitar
      E A D G B E
      Then
      Db
      I forced myself to learn it cuz its in the oposite side of the circle of fifths to G
      So i tuned my 2 other guitars to
      Db Ab Eb Ab Db
      And kept it as is
      Ive been training myself by humming these notes every day
      To my tuner after i wake up
      So that i dont have any other pitch on my mind so like no cheating
      But then i dont think
      We cant actually develop perfect pitch cuz even if i can hum those its not always in tune with the actual note
      But id say a good thing is that i can recognize
      G, E, or Db whenever somebody plays
      Them so that when i jump to my guitar i can pretend like im some talented person that can play anything that ive heard for the first time
      But then to sum it up
      Us people
      Can only get imperfect perfect pitch
      Its only the best for recognizing the pitches and not for singers
      But i can even pull of an F sometimes cuz of the song in shrek "somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me"

    • @Taco_Burrito39
      @Taco_Burrito39 3 роки тому

      But then really have to dedicate time for music
      I actually dropped out of school so that i can focus on the things i want to do and have time for them whenever i want to
      But then are you willing to sacrifice your time for that skill?

    • @Taco_Burrito39
      @Taco_Burrito39 3 роки тому

      But then you also have to show some degree of high intelligence
      So like if you've never been high skilled at anything or like if you have low motor skills then mostly no you dont have a chance
      But then dont base your intelligence through
      Grades
      But then if you've been really working hard for those sure why not consider it as a form of intelligence
      I actually started training with my 2 other classmates
      Too
      Its been a year blah blah
      My friend learned G
      Cuz of the violin
      And my other friend did not
      Long story short my other friend ddnt show really any form of talent or so
      Id always find him
      Just spending his time on useless stuff
      I wouldnt say gaming is for stupid people
      Gaming is actually a really good thing for brain development and motorskills but then
      He never got good at it either
      So like sad to say
      Are you just lucky enough to have good parents that spent their time with you as a baby
      Giving your brain a good structure and a good a guide to connect the dots on how life works and such
      So again
      Talent plays a big role
      Violin friend: pianist, violin master?, sound engineer
      Me: polyglot (5.5 languages)
      And i cant pretty much play any other instrument
      Etc i dont want to flex
      Other friend
      Csgo player that's just Silver Elite M
      And a Steven universe enthusiast
      But then theres nothing wrong with him doing with what he likes
      I think he's the happiest one out of us 3
      So like it might be nice to keep your life simple but then not too simple yk
