Perfect pitch, 10 years of piano/music experience, and the fact that all 3 of those songs have similar melodies and bass patterns (allowing a lot of copying and pasting).

I have 9 years of piano experience...I should be almost as good as you but I'm not...

[DonValentino]

Hey Don, I did Live too. I don't see it on the OP

Sorries, Ganondorf complex, too many Links! It is now. :p

Also, this K.K. songs bring up an issue I didn't notice, the "(Live)" in the Live versions. Consequently, and to maintain the trend that K.K. songs on site already have (except for K.K. Moody, which can be easily changed in the future), for the Live versions it will be enough with the plain title, no "(Live)". Aircheck and Music Box keep that though.

I probably led you astray a bit with the piano experience thing. Really, the only thing piano experience does is it allows you to know whether something is playable or not more quickly, rather than having to go to a piano and test it out a bunch of times. Sure, that saves some time, but not nearly as much as a hereditary gift such as absolute (perfect) pitch. Well actually, hereditary isn't quite the word I wanted to use. It is just something that can only be developed during certain time windows, usually by experience with a musical instrument. I can't remember exactly what these windows are, but the best time is having experience before age 3 or so. Its all about brain development and stuff, you can look up more about it if you want to. But anyway, it is a huge timesaver because it allows me to hear melodies or chords only 1 or 2 times and be able to recognize every note being played. I don't have to stop and keep plunking random keys until something "sounds right." You can always develop relative pitch, but I won't get into that here. This is going WAY off topic, I promise my next post will be a submission! Anyway, if you have any questions about pitch, arranging speed, or something else, PM me about it so we don't like get people mad at us for cluttering up this thread with non-Animal Crossing stuff!

Lucky to have that talent, MP! If i have questions I will ask you!

Remembering for like 3-4 years ago I tried to learn perfect/Absolute pitch. I though that it'd be the ultimate tool for me, as I wanted to be a composer(I only needed a pen and some paper and I could just write down everything I heard in my head). I tried really hard, but all the methods were very vague. Most methods said either that you should try associate a certain note with a certain color or something, or that you should try to associate the note with a song that started on the note. And one of the programs I used, Auralia, had a huge flaw in it's Perfect Pitch training topic: The notes seemed to have different overtones, so I could hear what note it was not because I recognized the pitch but because I recognized the sound, like hearing different instruments. And also, since the notes came after each other successively, it sometimes happen that I used relative pitch to clear the exercise.   
It might be possible to learn Perfect Pitch, I'm not sure, or at least get better at hearing different pitches. But But I gave up after a while because I didn't see much of a clear progress, it is much harder to learn than relative pitch. I got a pretty good relative pitch and it's easier to learn probably because you hear 2 or more notes and it's about hearing the relation to the notes, if it sounds dissonant or not etc., while perfect pitch you hear 1 or more notes and you have to know/feel what note it is.

I can play by ear, is that close to perfect pitch? lol

[Olimar12345]

@Tobbeh: it is impossible to learn perfect pitch, since it is a neurological condition. You can, however, learn relative pitch, which I can vouch for is extremely useful. (Probably even moreso than perfect pitch)

Hmmmm....didn't know that. Always thought you could learn perfect pitch

Short answer no.

Btw, thanks Don! And all the live songs that I've posted so far don't have live in the title nor on the sheet.

plz yes guys, let's stick to subjects only related to the AP. :J

Yes, I was just talking in general for future reference.

Of course

Don't know if I said this, but I'll be doing K.K Jongara (Live) as well.

Really weird songs. I don't know which time signatures and what beaming to use, and if the one I got is the best one. 

Moving on to K.K. Stroll, that one should be easy like a stroll in the park.

Solid work! At first glance, I do think it's in 4/4, why did you write 8/6 in Live if you got it right with the Aircheck? xD
Please change it to 4/4 if you don't mind. :J

Ah yes, they're kinda weird, but like Hypno K.K., they sound surprisingly good overall!
