You don't have to worry about that. Practically no one has that ability and I've read
that it is not a necessary skill you need to have to play music. It's more about having
relative pitch - how to tell notes from a base note (like the root note of a scale).

Bottom line: Don't worry about that at all.
Just curious, Slim -- who is that in your av?...Buddy Guy? (He just happens to be my favorite blues guitarist btw).
