This would be the equivalent of those with 'perfect pitch'. For pitch, there are online/computer courses or CD's that apparently can teach any slob how to recall any note or pitch with 100% accuracy (or so they claim). They can also pick out the exact key or pitch by hearing any note.. I gather it is done by associating colors with notes.. and a lot of ear training practice. Which got me thinkin.. can you train yourself to recall a tempo through the same sort of technique? I've run into various musicians along the way that seem to be able to do this, but I'm not sure if they're thinking of the melody line first.. or if just a number is all they need. i.e., call out 107 and 1-2-3-4 away ya go.. Generally I have to clear my mind and think of the tune (quickly) and then count off. But I've also played with several guitar players that don't seem to think about it and just jump in to the tune and nail the meter dead on every time! What do you think.. any human metronomes out there? Post Extras
