There is such a thing as being "gifted". |

I am okay (sorta) when I am playing solo.
But I cannot keep-time with a backing track, metronome or another player.
I cannot pay attention to two things at once, I think... |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I don't generally subscribe to the gifted theory, mostly because I usually hear it from people who have never spent any effort on anything, (I'm not talking about you, Brad) but the timing theory is interesting.
I used to explain my meager musical gifts by saying that I was born with rhythm because my parents were devout Catholics and used the rhythm method for all 5 of us, but people don't get it anymore. |

The music which is not inside your heart.
What's the easiest music to play?
The music which perfectly fits your soul.
Why?
Each music contains one different spirit. |

Location: Munich, Germany | Hardest? Bossa Nova. Not to play, but to play and sing along. Always wonder how Joao Gilberto did it.
Easiest? Everything Johnny Cash played.
Best regards,
