I don't have perfect pitch and don't really have the need for it in my personal every day life as a musician, but relative pitch is a must and I use it every day. Relative pitch has to do with intervals and recognizing them right away. I decided to start a thread to discuss interval recognition. Basically the idea is to list all the basic intervals here and underneath each one of them write some well known songs that start with that interval. For example, Happy Birthday starts with a Major 2nd. If you can sing that tune in pitch, then that means that you can sing a Major 2nd from any given note. Just sing the first two notes of that song and there is your Major 2nd. That's where you guys come into, just copy and paste the following post in your answer to this thread and complete it with any songs that start with that interval. Each interval can have more that one song associated with it. So here is the chart with a few suggestions. Let's all collaborate on this! 2nd minor Jaws theme, Fur Elise, Green Hornet, Flight of Bumblebee, Ode to Joy Major Ascending Happy Birthday, You really got me riff, London bridge is falling down Descending I shoot the Sheriff, Sunshine of your love 3rd minor Day is done Lullaby, Smoke on the water, Greensleeves Major When the saints go marching in 4th perfect Godfather theme, Here comes the bride augmented One day I'll fly away, the Simpsons theme 5th perfect Starwars Lead, 2001:Space Odysee, Moon river 6th minor Ascending Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater Revival Descending Love story theme Major Traviata, Soul Man 7th minor She's leaving home: (Wednesday morning), at -five (o' clock), Star Trek theme Major second part of the Superman theme You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
