Anyone ever tried that one perfect pitch program thats always in guitar one/player with that two page ad? The David Lucas Burge or whats his face one?

That would be sooo sweet if what he promises with his product is true. I'd definetly pay 160 bucks for perfect pitch.

Don't waste your cash. Stay away from anything that says "Works in 60 days." or the like. They just want your cash. The best thing to do is practice.

I have to wonder if all you can really learn is relative pitch that you can do so fast in your head that it seems like perfect pitch. I'd still be interested to see the method they have.

I've read studies that show that people can learn to memorize notes to the point where they can identify them like someone with perfect pitch would be able to, but there are still differences between that and genuine perfect pitch. Currently there's no proof that any adult has acquired genuine perfect pitch. Of course, even if it is possible to acquire perfect pitch as an adult, it's going to take you years. You might as well consider it to be like learning a second language. Even kids take years to completely get it and they're the ones who have undeveloped hearing that permits them to learn it. Don't waste your money on some guy telling you to over analyze notes and associate them with the given letters, if you want a trained ear your best bet is to make like Schmange, bust out some of your CDs and start tabbing them out yourself. All though, it would be really cool to have perfect pitch.

On a related note, I have my own question. Lately I've been transcribing midis rather than regular songs, since I can slow them down easily, and even turn off other instruments so that I can hear the given instruments better. My question is, that midis lose a certain natural tone since they're electronic. Does anyone think that will hinder my progress in ear training?

And to the starter of the thread: don't waste your money.

See that's what I was figuring, but it can't to have a second opinion.

Truth be known, I some times find it easier/a bit better working with midis. Don't have to worry about them going out of tune.

Late response, I know. But Beethoven was heavily trained in music since he was a very young child. His father was a strict teacher and being around music at such a young age will definitely effect your musical ear. Children can acquire it, but adults, especially deaf adults, still have yet to be proven able to get it.

I'm getting damn sick of seeing that Lucas guy's ads in the back of G1. He's always in some queer pose that makes you want to give him a wedgie.
