Your perfect pitch is impressive, but it is your MUSICAL TRAINING and KNOWLEDGE which enables you to effectively re-arrange voicings, guitar lines, and vocal harmonies... Your perfect pitch plays less of a role than your musical training in these cases

Jim,
Yeah, "impressive" things aside: musical training and ability is the key to greatness in music, recorded or performed - you cannot get perfection from editing the hell out of something, it has to come from the players, and the really "exceptional" ones don't need any hand holding, or advise on how to re-arrange/harmonize anything. Refer back to my other post:
"I agree: one is predisposed to being able to "identify" having perfect pitch, and is born with the tools to do so: it's a matter of circumstance whether or not you are musically inclined early on, and whether or not you pursue enough training to help you identify this trait."
that about says what I meant,
cheers,
