Thats called perfect pitch and I think only like 1/10,000 people have it. But I guess what I recommend is learning how the major scale is formed because its the basis for almost all western music theory. This is gonna be hard for me to explain because im not a very good teacher Ok, so there are 12 notes that make up and octave and the major scale uses 7 of these notes. On a piano if you start on the note C and you play all of the white keys until you get up to another C note then those are the notes for the major scale in C. If you look you will obviously notice that there are some black keys missing inbetween some of the white keys. And there is this "pattern" for the major scale. You start off on the first note C, then you skip a note (This would be the black key, c#, in the c scale) and then you play the white key which is D. Then you skip another note and play the next white key E. But then for the transition between the 3rd and the 4th note of the scale you dont skip a note and there is no black key to skip here so you just play the next white key which if F. For the next 3 notes of the scale you skip 1 note between them so you would play G A B. And by this point you will have played all 7 notes of the scale and to get back to the beginning you go up only 1 key, meaning you dont skip one here. So bascially you skip a key between every note except for the transition between 3-4 and 7 back to the key you started off at (The octave). If you learn this pattern you dont have to think of each scale as something different you have to memorize you can just move this pattern around starting off on the note you want. So if you wanted to play the D major scale you just use this pattern except start on D (There are black keys other scales though C is the only one with only white keys) So by learning this scale it lets you do a lot of stuff like for example if you want to play a major chord all you have to do is play the 1st note the 3rd note and the 5th note of the scale at the same time. There is also a ton of other stuff but I dont want to overwhelm you Sorry if I'm bad at explaining this but if you have any questions about it just ask and Ill try to help that's called 2-2-1 2-2-1 and a minor scale has a flat third and 6th so that means 2-1-2 2-1-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the sound of your voice and the band's 80's revival sound is fresh this sounds very professional. very smooth production maybe a little homogenous at times but people work hard to be able to get that kind of sound. good job. I'm sure there are more but I got this far and decided I have to upload some of my stuff. will post links in a bit. where's the love you promised me ! I enjoyed this song so much this morning Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

not asher613 661 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 on my page there's a wide range of things from different phases of my development, and different moods. pretty much all demos/sketches i sometimes pull off vocals but i mostly don't consider myself a singer and write with other voices in mind. one piece there, a jewish choral composition is my arrangement, but not my song. i sing the parts behind the cantor's solo.

calmar 21,401 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I can kind of sing, but I've never been taught in any way, so I know my technique is bad. Sometimes I write things too, but I can never write full things; I never have the ability to sit down and write a full song, only a small part of one. At least when I'm awake. Sometimes when I fall asleep I hear music which might be new but I'm too tired and I just enjoy it and then wake up and forget it happened until days later 俺の勝利は揺るぎない Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
