All lessons are via listening to the CD, but need you practise with own instrument. Meaning, lessons are taught in the CD but to get result, you need to do the lesson with your instrument (guitar or piano or etc...)

I bought the CDs from http://www.perfectpitch.com
but I bought both the perfect pitch and relative pitch courses

wah do u remember how much was it? you ordered it online?

IIRC, I paid USD 289/- + international shipping USD 18/-
I chosed their 3 month easy (installment) payment plan.

That was when they were having a special deal. Now its USD 388/-

ouch thats expensive. did it really help?

yup, its expensive.

Did it help...? well Im still in the early stages of Pitch Perfect course and Ive not put much effort. What I can say is, I have the feeling that if I really put effort on the lessons, I really believe I'm able to achieve a pitch perfect hearing.

Although Im a little lazy, but I do not regret splashing that much money for a course that I think will deliver its promise. Just that I think I need a strict teacher with a long cane to monitor my musical lessons..

The concept is different (I think) from other courses (not that Ive tried others). The way Pitch perfect does is identifying the 'colors' of pitch, eg A has a different 'color' than A# for example. Once you've achieved the color recognition, you'll be easy to identify any note.

Not like some course that rely on memorizing the pitches of the notes.

That's really no joke ya. Hole in my pocket is getting bigger and bigger.

Its a controversial subject called 'eidetic memory'.

which subject are you refering to as 'eidetic memory' / photographic memory?

books you must have:

1. speed mech for lead guitar
2. fretboard logic SE
3. MJS guitar total scales and application.

these books helps me a lot.

good luck!

Borders are expensive..

I once was in JB, saw a book that i wanted in popular... the price is Rm48 - 49 ++

And i m back in Kl, i went to borders, saw the same book and guess what... its Rm 80.. period..

my bandmate jz photostat a Rock Guitar Secrets by Peter Fischer for me hope i cud apply it on my bass playing lolz

ultimate-guitar.com pwns all!

you know , last time ultimate-guitar's shred forum was nice..

now..

i am ashamed to tell people i was an active member for 2 years

shreadaholic.com ok! "Perfect the Shred"

VERY IMPORTANT: yellow pages and some pizza delivery leaflet.

And a scale book with notes and tabs. So you can learn to read notes easier. Or you'd be tempted to look at tabs and not learn the notes anyway. But it's still useful

banzai, lolx, I'm just reccomending a stantard book that should be in every serious classical player.

Taking my grade 6 soon...sigh. *Scared*

Ummm, I kinda forget the name for the book, but it's I THINK Tarrega's 120 exercises?

It improves string crossings for your right, acceleration (you need a metronome...) and basic rythmn.

Another nice book to have is Spanish for Guitar and Bach for Guitar. Oh, and anything Tarrega, roxxors!

Not to forget..ROTTW n Guitar&Bass Very usefull mag for newbie coz include lesson n history of music.lot of info there..

hey guys anyone have the Fender Stratocaster Handbook by Paul Balmer? is it any good?
