Sam is 5 years old and loves to play and listen to harmonica (Big Walter is his favorite). He can tell what key any song is in or what key any harmonica is by hearing it.

  • having absolute pitch doesn't make you a better musician.

  • Perfect pitch helps with things like understanding theory, melody and modes. Perfect pitch does nothing for things like rhythm and timing, which all good musicians have. So I agree, it does not make you a good musician, it is only a tool that can help.

  • I know this kid. He's my best friend!

  • So how is he doing now??

  • caddo lake? are you from around shreveport louisiana?

  • @Alltimelowguitar123 I fail to understand how that is a "curse" ???

  • That is verrrry good! To be sure "perfect pitch" is a gift but it's an infallible gift; those who have it, have it and have always had it, so age doesn't really matter. What I am thoroughly impressed with (and echoing what downhill240 stated) what a great Dad! (Also great playing Dad.) I think, however Sam Benson's greater talent, or will be, is his harp playing! That is damn good for anybody under 20! Very very good! And again... great job Dad!

  • wow lol :)

  • @xp0ferens xp, you missed the entire point of the video. Good luck in your life.

  • Very good playin' after 20 years :) Other videos?
