Does anyone here have absolute pitch?

I got 7/12.
So, I guess I have a decent ear...

I have absolute pitch, and I remember emptyset saying he had it too when I met him at dhofest2.

I can recognize an A, E, or D easily, and Eb, Ab, C, C#, and G a little less easily. Those are all acquired through playing music for me. Sometimes, when I hear a new song, I try to identify the scale before it ends, and usually I get it.

I took the relative pitch test and got 12/12. I then took the perfect pitch test and got 5/12. The relative test is much easier because having the middle C reference makes it almost impossible to get wrong if you play an instrument and are used to how two notes sound relatively at different distances. But yeah, for the perfect pitch thing, that would be a no for me, even though I tried to use relative pitch from my memory when I took the test. <_<

I don't, I only got one out of twelve.

Recognizing intervals is easier then single notes. There's plenty of examples you can use. If you memorize one song to relate to each then relative pitch can figure out the interval. Minor 2nd is a half step or the very next key over, and is very recognizable due to the jaws theme. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLAYvjaGGqM

I got 4 out of 12 on the perfect pitch test. I feel better then most...

I feel like I would do better if all of the notes were played on the open E string of a guitar. What octave (#) is low E on a guitar in btw. Is it the 5th?

I lost my music theory notes on relative pitch and interval training though. Our teacher gave us an example for every interval. I'd rather feel good about myself then take the relative pitch test.

This thread just reminded me... My drummer recently complimented me on the fact that he has not once heard me lose the tempo of a song.

I do pay damn good attention to rhythm in my guitar playing. It's quite important to me. If I don't have perfect pitch then at least I'm good at that.

I completely blame guitar hero.

I got 6 of 12 correct.
I don't have perfect pitch, but I know when notes are sharp/flat notes every time. It's a different kind of sound than normal notes.

I don't have either. Though i am pretty good at ear tuning. (does anyone else think its easier to tune to an octave then a unison?)

If anyone has heard of it there is also something called perfect meter, which is basically one can hear a song and tell you what the tempo is. Or can give tempos pretty exactly.

Both are pretty cool.
