I believe the answer is:

tar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pitch' is the definition.
(I know that pitch can be written as tar)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tar that I've seen before include "Road-dressing for a sailor?" , "Crewman" , "Viscous mixture - sailor" , "Black substance, used on roads" , "Smoker's black deposit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
