RE: What Do Great Musicians Have in Common? – Music in our Genes
Some people have it and some people don't. I am self taught at the guitar and worked hard over years to play a small repertoire. My son picked up the guitar a few years ago and he can play anything he hears!
Great for him and sad for me!
I know exactly what you mean, it's the same for me. That's great your son was blessed with that ability, it is a true gift.
In the post prior to this one, I interviewed a session guitarist who without any instruction was able to listen to Chet Atkins solos on the radio as a 10 year old and easily pick them out and play them. Hard to imagine.
That's great!
I can pretty much do that, too--but I'm 34 ;)
