Well, it doesn't really follow your point...because he could obviously do it before Hamburg, but essentially, they were a shit band until they went to Hamburg multiple times and played for 6 to 8 hours a night for months on end and GOT good. They didn't like to repeat themselves, so they just kept learning and playing new covers...till they were much, much better.
When they didn't really ever practice enough to make that conclusion.
Oh, I see. I don't know...I think though, what I'm saying is that there is still a musical aptitude. Yes, it takes thousands of hours of practice, but some people have the aptitude for it and others don't, no matter how hard they may practice.
but some people have the aptitude for it and others don't, no matter how hard they may practice.
How do you know that's true? I've never met anyone who could not play no matter how hard they tried.
I think it's something people who just never tried hard enough like to say
I don't doubt some people have an aptitude for it and others don't. But that doesn't mean those who don't can't ever play or learn. I think it just means they have to try harder.
My thoughts on this are because I've heard people all my life say they could never play. And I've never heard anyone who practiced a lot and actually tried say that.
I don't think you get what I'm saying, TV. I could learn. Sure. Like learning to type. Or write. That doesn't mean I'd be good at it. It doesn't mean I could think musically. It doesn't mean I could compose creatively or theoretically. Memorize chords or notes or whatever? Sure, that's just muscle memory. That's not aptitude. Know what I mean? I think anyone could learn to play upside down or backwards or whatever, given enough time or determination or practice. But here's my guess: If you have musical aptitude, it would be more natural, more intuitive, and not such a slog. Just my thought about it. Like math. I can't do it. I can memorize formulas and equations, but I don't 'get' it.
