 Re: Nature, Nurture, or Fugeddaboutit?

I didn't think I could learn to play by ear, but was forced into it when I joined a church music team that had a leader who didn't read music. The guy was a musical genius but couldn't read a note. He knew what the notes were when he heard them and played guitar like an angel, but don't put a score in front of him. The first night I came to rehearsal I played very quietly off to myself on a corner of the stage, listening and matching tones. After about a month I was able to play a counter-melody and do pretty well. After about 6 months it was quite easy to play with the group. I played with them about 8 years. It was a very good experience.
