Saw an ad in GuitarWorld for this magic lesson thingy-ma-bob that will train your ear to pick out notes and chords on the fly, definately a usefull technique, but does it work? Anyone try this? Opinions? -------------------- |

Anyone try this? Opinions? Well I can't tell for sure but I can tell you this: To my knowledge that ad has been in guitar magazines since 1970-80, at the time it was sold on casette tapes. If a course wants to teach you perfect pitch from a casette recorder you know there is something wrong - because different casette recorders give different pitches! I'm sure you will get something out of the course. However, absolute pitch isn't nearly as good as relative pitch. Relative pitch is about recognising the intervals (see harmonizing lesson) - so you at any time when improvising/composing can transpose the melodies of your head to the guitar. That's what I want to learn - I don't want to sit all day and picture F# as yellow ( I believe perfect pitches courses teaches you to associate colors with notes). My two cents... --Kris |
