That I do not believe.
I think they are more like the guys with 300+ IQ.
They never brag about their intelligence,
and I understand why;
When you reach a certain point, there's no need to brag.
If you know you're good, why cant you just stop
talking about it and do something with your skill instead?
Personally, I know Im not the best guitarist but
I see myself as pretty good.
So ok I have this gift, why brag with it?
Will I get anything out of it? No.
Will anyone else? No.
So why not do something with it instead of showing off?
The 300+ IQ guys often becomes scientists, doctors,
musicians, surgeons etc etc etc.
And I think thats one of the things that shows
they are really smart.
They use their gift trying to accomplish something.
They're using their gift so that other people can
do something with it aswell.
If youre blessed with something I think
you should use it to help other people in some way.
In this case it might be to entertain people with
your music or to teach other guitarists.
Why keep it to yourself?
No one will benefit from it.
Not even yourself.
