Self-discipline, hard work, iron will, indestructible motivation and an intelligent time- and effort- wise approach to learning are also talents I guess Agree tho I don't like the word talent. -------------------- Youtube

I believe there is a limit to hard work and dedication though and that's where talent takes over..... Seriously, i think its the other way around .. |

I think that in anything we decide to do in our lives takes is affected by practice, learning and "talent", whether it´s playing a sport, playing an instrument or studying at a university.
Each of these activities, however are affected in different ways by these 3 components. Some sports, for instance, are more affected by talent than the other components. Still, a talented sport player with much practice will be better than someone who has talent but doesn´t practice properly. As for guitar, I believe that what separates a mediocre player from a great player is learning and practice. What separates a great player from a guitar god is talent... -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

Apparently this topic really engage a lot of GMC'ers! Me too...
I think we are discussing more than one topic here. The existing of talent (already established by definitions elsewhere) and then wether or not this phenomena (talent) is natural or achieved. My point of view is, that the latter question (natural or achieved) is very difficult to answer. And maybe it's not that important (at least until science settles the things). Talent is in my opinion the many different abilities you possess when you start. These may be natural (ie. you are born with them) or achieved. Take for instance absolute pitch . It's an ongoing discussion wether or not this is inherited. Opinions are divided. Either some people are born with this ability. Or they achieve it in early childhood. (There's even a third option: we may all be born with the ability, but many of us loose it!). No matter what's the reason for this (one) skill, I'm way beyond having it by now! Hence my talent is somewhat less. In the end it may not be that important. If I want to, I can compensate somewhat by building up a relative pitch ability. Maybe I will never be able to reach the level of someone who has absolute pitch, but I could still be good enough to play in the band! The main thing is: I'm doing something (when I play my guitar) that really makes me feel good. Have fun. |
