Of course some people have more talent and learn faster, but by choice I decided not to be part of that group.
Same thing for golf, I want to swing for my money
I'm with you on that. My friends say I get the best bargain in golf because my cost per swing is the lowest! I haven't played to my handicap for so long that my friends now bring a VISA machine when we play so I can pay them by credit card after I lose!
You make a very good point about learning songs! If you have to think about it, you haven't mastered it! I'm working on
If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot and although it is a fairly straight forward song it has a rather tricky picking pattern with forward rolls followed by reverse rolls. I can play the song but I don't have the accents down yet so it doesn't sound right. I guess that's the difference between mechanics and the feel of a song.
I also agree that I wouldn't want to be one of those people who learns songs quickly. What would be the challenge of that?
Of course, who wants to hit your driver 300 yards up the middle every time? Boring!!
