Does this count as perfect pitch?
I recently learned about this thing called perfect and I was wondering if I have it, however I’m not musically experienced enough to know.
I don’t recognise the note names yet because I’m still learning theory and I guess I haven’t assigned a label for all the notes.
Here are some of my experiences:
* I have strong memory of every open string of my guitar (ABDGE)
* If I don’t have a tuner I can usually hum an E note and tune my guitar to that note though I use relative pitch to tune the rest.
* When figuring out a chord, I dissect the chord by identifying the individual notes and finding it on my guitar. However, I have to focus really hard and replay it a couple times.
* I don’t have assigned labels for the notes but they have a “shape” or “face” to them. I can say a song goes like *hums out the notes*.
* Notes can have a character; like seeing a familiar face. The G note feels like home to me, while a C feels “warm” and like its going a particular direction.
Now that I think about, the first chord I ever learned on my guitar was a G major chord for Stand By Me. I feel like I’m tuned to G as my home note.
Let me know your thoughts :)
