Marty's three examples are different enough that what you're saying doesn't apply to all three equally. I always believed that physical talent is largely natural. Golf relies on physics more than intellect. The opposite could be said of chess. Piano would be between those two. As far as the mental aspect, sure one has to have enough intellect, but just being smart doesn't mean one is automatically great at something. But some things can be approached scholastically. Music, for example. Naturals in music often have perfect pitch, but mere mortals can can achieve the same level of competence by immersing themselves into music theory. Well, you were responding to Marty. It seems to me his aspirations aren't to be the best in the world, but just to see improvement. One doesn't have to be a natural to yield those results. And again, my point is that these three things are completely different. The limitations of lack of natrual ability are different for all three. And Marty's lack of improvement in any of these three may be a flawed approach to practice. I've taught guitar in the past and have seen that multiple times. Bottom line, the answer to Marty's issue with lack of improvement isn't "those require natural talent, so don't bother". I'll also note that Steve Vai, arguably one of the top guitar players in the world, claims he isn't a natural on guitar, and it was him practicing 12 to 15 hours a day early on. |
