"But guitar-playing is about more than any one part of your brain. Within two years, Martino was able to completely relearn how to play the jazz guitar. Scientists everywhere have used his brain as an amazing example of cerebral plasticity. For guitarists, he represents something else — playing guitar isn't a skill. It's a way of being."

Well, it DOES back up the theory...it says "different" but maybe "more special" would've been more appropriate?
