Try The Guitar Chord Finder. Select A 11 under normal chords. Then press midi. It'll play everything but the lowest E as a MIDI sequence.
Some of the songs on Are You Experienced? were tuned down a half-step and some weren't. Purple Haze is one of the ones that's in standard tuning.
Anybody who has perfect pitch who says that music played out of tune drives them crazy is just showing off. It really doesn't make all that much difference. I developed perfect pitch about 3 years ago (yes it's possible). Before I had perfect pitch I could tell if people were singing or playing out of tune. I just didn't know what exact note they were playing or how sharp or flat it actually was. Because I'm a musician it annoyed me because I like good music and playing/singing in tune is an essential part of good musicianship. When I developed perfect pitch it didn't really change the way I felt about people playing out of tune. I just now had the ability to know what note they were playing and just how out of tune it was. The "annoyance factor" isn't any more extreme for a person with perfect pitch. If you can tell that something is out of tune then you can tell it's out of tune. It doesn't matter if you have perfect pitch or not.
I had a piano tuner come to my house today. I think I'm going to tune it myself next time, using a notebook computer and some free software.
huh...so I can ask you to sing a b flat and you can reproduce it? or hear a note and name it? That is impressive, I have only met one person in my life that could produce any note that you asked them without hesitation, and this is studying Opera at the University of North Texas--one of the best undergrad colleges of music in the country. Not calling you liar, just impressed.
That's not "out of tune," it's just in Eb. Just because a song is in a unorthodox key doesn't mean it's out of tune.
Does having perfect pitch mean being able to sing a note perfectly or just being able to identify it perfectly?
good question Chang, I have always understood it as both. If you say, produce a b flat, I could most likely come within a half step after I referenced a C in my head and went down a step. If you played a random note, I would likely be about as close--a half-step off...
Perfect pitch is the ability to hear a tone and correctly identify it on a musical scale. It has nothing to do with being able to sing the tone. I certainly do not have it.
