Andrew answers this weekend’s question about how to understand and practice relative pitch as well as the differences between Perfect Pitch and Relative Pitch… Viewers Question: Q: What is relative pitch – is it the same, or different than perfect pitch. Also, which one is best to learn as a guitarist and can you give any tips for practicing ear training techniques. – Martin A: Perfect Pitch is the ability to recognize the actual tonal name of a note from only hearing the given note being played; ie, Knowing that a note just performed was actually an “Eb.” Relative Pitch is the ability to recognize the intervalic distance between two notes; ie, Hearing an “F” note then hearing an “Ab” after one another, and knowing that the interval between them is that of a Minor 3rd. IN THE VIDEO: Andrew discusses the way musicians can develop a keen sense of relative pitch through a series of association exercises.
