Perfect 4th vs Perfect 5th

just imagine the twinkle twinkle little star. that's a perfect fifth.
you can also play a power chord ( which really, isn't a chord ), play the notes separately, feel the interval.
that's your perfect fifth right there.
perfect fourth sounds like "hark the herald" or "here comes the bride, baby inside"
i have a post on how to make your own relative pitch trainer.

here's how you can use a relative pitch trainer even without touching your instrument. just record this on your phone:
play a C. let it ring. then play C#. let ring. repeat for about six times. then play them together. for guitarists. you can do this by playing on the low E string, 8th fret together with the C# on the A string, 4th fret. play them harmonically for 5 times. let ring. then, at the end of the record, mention the notes, and the interval "C...C#... minor 2nd"
name the file.
record as many minor 2nds as you can all over the fretboard. just remember to mention the name of the notes and the interval at the end of the recording.
record other intervals as well until you finish to "octave"
name the files then create playlist.
for playlists, you may want to start with minor 2nds. put all the minor 2nds in one playlist. play them chromatically in oreder until you feel comfortable with the interval.
do this with the other intervals as well. listen to each interval around fifteen minutes a day. then listen to anoter interval.
after one week, create a playlist with a "fixed root", let's say, C for example, where all the roots of the intervals is C.
put all the intervals that include C starting from minor 2nd all the way to one ovtave. listen to this for around 30 minutes before listening to another playlist with another fixed root, say, D. play the intervals in order from minor second to one octave. when you feel confident enough after listening to organized interval, randomize that "fixed root" playlist. try to name the intervals.
when you're quite comfortable with the fixed root system, put all the records in one big playlist. randomize. try to name the intervals. do this as much as you can everyday. it would be better to put your headsets on before you sleep, as you sleep, and around half an hour after you wake up. if you can tranfer the files to your ipod, better. you don't want to drain your phone's battery overnight.
by the way, if you want to record really low notes like the open low E, a pitch shifter could help. you can also use it on all of the harmonic notes. if you don't have a pitch shifter, I think you can tune the A string as a low F for minor 2nds. tune it as F# for 2nds etc. . .
this takes a lot of work, but it pays big time with results. be patient.
good luck. have fun!

for guitarists:
record this on your cellphone:
play the open low E around 6-8 times let it ring, pause for about 3 seconds then say "E"
press stop, name the file. i recommend not to use effects such as chorus, delay or reverb because it will affect the quality. let your ear get used to the "dry" sound first.
do this on the other notes chromatically. record the notes one by one until you reach the open high E.
arrange the files so that when you play it, you would hear them in order.
listen to the files before you sleep, as you sleep, and minutes after you wake up. do this for days.
after one week, randomize the playlist. try to name the notes while you're awake.
continue listening even when you're asleep. if you're having difficulty recognizing the notes, disable random play.
I'm on my first week. Good luck! Have fun!

note quality

i'm a student of perfect pitch, currently studying the note qualities. i just want to share some points that i learned.
i found out that notes sing some kind of "vowel" differences. listen closely to the notes as you play them one by one and play them repeatedly. for example:
the note C kinda immitates a "too" sound
the note E sounds like "ten" or "teen"; somewhere in between
The note F sounds like "pink" or pin or teen
the note A sounds a little like "gone"
so far, those are the points that i observed. i'm going to post more details as i learn more about notes.

Hi,
I'm having trouble telling the perfect 4th & perfect 5th apart sometimes. My guitar teacher says it's something to do with inversions. What does that mean?
