I'm a firm believer that if you're prepared to put the effort in, you'll get the reward.

It comes easier to some than others, but that doesn't make them better, it just mean's they've got a natural talent. Someone said on another post "nobody's born with a guitar"...wiser word's were never spoken if you ask me.

I'd missed this one earlier and wanted to contribute more thoughts to this topic. That being said... Natural talent is just the tendancy to do things correctly. However the difference between the gifted and the well read is a debate that I care not to delve into, but in the end either way it doesn't really matter. Just so long as the music doesn't suck, that's all I really care about.
