Talent is a very subjective and relative topic in general, so I think I can only give my opinion on the matter, and cannot really say anything about any others opinion, because these opinions are not really comparable.
I think some people do have talent, and that means that they are born with a certain ability, that is superior to most other humans, so they have predisposition to succeed in certain things. On top of that talent means only just that - a predisposition - something that can only be developed through hard work, so if somebody has a talent, he still has to prove that talent through hard work. Only then talent can be seen or heard in its true greatness. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

We need to think "outside the box": you can do whatever you devote yourself to! This is how I see it too... Now I think of "talent" as natural predisposition to start doing something - playing instrument , basketball or fixing cars..Its a thing that gets you motivated/interested to start developing certain skill...So if you are playing the instrument - you are talented (In my opinion), and you can achieve anything..Your success rate will depend on millions of factors because we are all different human beings...Have you ever thought why you started playing guitar or developing any other skill ?? Why that particular skill ?? What driven you to a such idea ? -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

QUOTE To me, it is either used as a synonymy to "skilled" or by someone who does not understand the mechanics of self improvement. Well said Kris. And an excellent topic. I have argued over this topic several times with a lot of people and every time I came across newer believes and insights. I personally don't believe in so called talent. Like Kris said, it's actually the skill that people see to misunderstand as talent. Just for an example, lets say Mr. John Doe is a son of a extremely talented guitarist and successful guitarist. He grew up all his life around music. Many would assume that he is naturally talented, but what if he has no interest in playing guitar or music in general and never practiced his entire life. Do you think he has any chances of being a good guitar player if he starts to play all on a sudden. Well, he only will if dedicates him self completely to playing guitar. This dilemma of talent is somewhat of a concept found in the ancient traditions, where people where judged by their birth. Like if you are born a king then you have the highest respect in society even though now we know that its completely meaningless. Scientists have proven that all human are born with the same amount of brain and therefore, equally capable of everything except for a few unlucky people who had birth difficulties. The reason behind the belief of "talent" is actually altered by certain variables rather than your birth. How you grew up and the circumstances greatly affects ones ability to do something. Like as I mentioned earlier, Mr. John Doe has all the positive variables on his side to achieve success as a musician. His father was a musician so grew up around music and got all the facilities to develop and he also might have better reach to the business people in the field which will sure help him to be successful as a professional musician. On the other hand, a kid that grew up in the poverty of Africa and barely gets enough food to eat three times a day let alone getting music lessons or buying an instruments. Do you think he has any chances of being a successful musician? I believe in one thing that is, "if there is a will, there is a way." If you can believe and dream of being a good and successful musician and you are motivated, then nothing can stop you. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
