Yes, we do GET IT!
If you're not born with perfect pitch, you MUST develop good 'note interval' recognition (both ascending & descending):
Unison
Minor 2nd
Major 2nd
Minor 3rd
Major 3rd
Perfect 4th
Tritone (flatted fifth or augmented 4th)
Perfect 5th
Minor 6th
Major 6th
Minor 7th
Major 7th
Octave
and referred to as relative pitch. Once you are able to instantly recognize intervals as well as have an absolute recognition of at least ONE specific pitch (such as A 440, or middle C on the piano) then . . .
when you hear the last (bass) note of a song, you'll be able to quickly determine the key they're playing in by taking the note you have stored in your brain in absolute memory in your head (say middle C), determine the interval distance between the two notes and almost instantly know the key they are playing in.
