I play at it. All my stuff is old school. My favorite right now is an Epiphone, a copy of the Les Paul '56 Gold Top. I like the P90 pickups on it. You get a lot of sustain.

sir, that's good stuff!

Cool. What did you get?

I agree on the melody trigger, but it isn't as helpful to me for identifying pitches as it is for creating them out thin air. I never got anywhere worth mentioning, but good luck to you and let me know if you do succeed!

Very neat that you are attempting it! I tried a number of different systems/methods when I was younger, but eventually gave up. For where I am now, it's no longer something I *need* but the idea of developing 'the impossible' (as you put in your thread comment before) also has intrigued me.

I still have never met ANY adults who developed perfect pitch by trying, and I have known literally hundreds of conservatory students and professional musicians. I have heard of some people *supposedly* developing it, but am doubtful. That is why I'd love to see someone accomplish it!

Have you been able to develop perfect pitch yet? I'd be interested to hear about your progress!

I play jazz piano, for the most part (also classical piano, technically, but there aren't very many gigs available for that).

I can sort of play the violin and french horn too, but I haven't really kept up on those since high school. It helps for composing/arranging, though, so it's not exactly a wasted talent.

Hey, it's good to see another jazz musician on the forum.

You play bass, I take it?

I'm pretty sure that if a man sent me a handwritten note (especially with THAT handwriting!) I would melt on the spot. I'm old-fashioned like that. It really does look nice, your writing.

It's great that you still do that, though. I noticed my handwritings getting worse since I started working on a notebook/computer most of the time.

Looks fantastic!

Interesting avatar. Is that you with a contrabass?
