Now the reason I am continueing to write about this, is because some people just need to know what to look for. Just telling you how to hear the pitch in any sound and you will just automatically realize what perfect pitch actually is, and take hold of it very quickly. I know that if you read the other posts I put up and tried it, all of you heard it to some extend. If not just listen alittle closer, and remember you have nothing to lose, plus I need dont your money.

I noticed alot of people say Perfect Pitch is something that you just have and your born with it. Yeah some people are, they are born just looking at things simple. That's why they say Children and Authentic people can develop this more naturally. Cause your not trying to look for something that is not there, your going about it simpler. Like colors in the sounds, haha. You guys are reading into this David Lucas Burge thing alittle too much. People with pitch perception dont see colors when they hear a pitch. Why these are qouted so much together, is because they are both waveforms. Light waves (color waves) travel at about 700 trillion to 800 trillion vibrations per second. Depending on the color, red is faster and blue is slower, and everything in between is a different color depending on the vibrations per second and the same with sound wavs. Now sound wavs travel only in the hundreds of vibrations per sec. C is roughly about 440 vibrations per sec. This is why we here pitches ascending and descending. The vibrations per second go up as you go up the chromatic scale, and down when you go down the chromatic scale. This is using Relative Pitch. We were not born with relative pitch, we learned it back when we're first introduce to music in maybe grade school. Remember this, "do, ra, me, fa, so, le, toe". This was also your first introduction to Perfect Pitch perception, you just didn't realize it. You were only taught to think of the relationship of those 7 pitch. Say you wanted to go up 5 steps up from "ra", well that would be "le". When you refer to this, your using relative pitch. The relation between the two pitches. You were not taught to recognize a single pitch (perfect pitch). Because that they say is too hard for a child to grasp. Again, Perfect pitch is exotic, its only for the gifted or whatever. But actually Relative Pitch is much Harder to learn than Perfect Pitch, Perfect pitch only requires the knowledge of 12 individual tones. Relative Pitch is learning any variation of 12 individual tones, its endless. We still learn that easier. So why does it seem children have a better chance to develop perfect pitch? It is because children who developed perfect pitch were not taught only relative pitch but pitch recognizition as well. There ears are much more easier to mold with perfect pitch, cause they haven't been taught that relations are the only way to hear notes. Like how high and how low a note is compared to another note.

So with that in mind the first thing you should do, is forget about the relationships between notes. Say you can name a pitch because you know what "A" sounds like and you just figure how many steps up or down it is. This a good tool to use, but to develop perfect pitch it isnt. To archieve perfect pitch you'll have to be able to hear any note without reference. See having just having relative pitch is one dimension, having Perfect pitch and relative pitch, is hearing in two dimensions. For those who think they only need one or the another, the ear is 4 times more powerful with both.

Again If you are really serious about learning perfect pitch, I would recommend gettin the david lucas supercourse. It will guide you step by step to the pinnacle of perfect pitch, DO NOT get it if aren't serious about gaining this ability, or if you dont believe you can gain this ability, and are not willing to take the time to learn it. If not, your waisting your time and money.
