Absolute pitch doesn't tell you the quality of the chord, it only tells you its constituent notes. To know that a chord is minor is simply relative pitch aka ear training.
- baddox 12y agoI just meant that I can occasionally recognize both, e.g. I will hear a chord at the beginning of a song and instantly know "A minor." You're right, only the "A" part is the absolute pitch. I can always recognize the "minor" part, which is just easy relative pitch.
