Now, I AM one of the youngsters you speak of, (16) and it did come pretty easily to me, but lets get things straight before I come off as being a complete D-bag. I started off playing drums when I was about 10 yrs old, and guitar came about 4 yrs later down the line. Therefore, having the basic drumming knowledge, and being able to read music (complicated snare drum solos this is...), I was able to skip to the good stuff. I really loved guitar, and played a lot at the beginning, so I progressed a ton, and was learning every song I could, and quickly too. As of now though, I still find it fairly simple. Other than reading music, which I am looking into for college and stuff, its just another thing I enjoy doing... a lot. :rolleyes: Its kinda like this, if you like it, you'll practice and become good at it, natural talent or not. I happen to really love guitar, and mixed with a bit of natural talent, its become an awesome thing for me. My uncles been playing drums for about 40 yrs now :eek: and I like to think he's alright. :rolleyes: so lets say his musical ability has hopefully rubbed off on myself.
