Some time back I brought up the whole "talent" subject ... maybe some people just have a propensity for music/guitar. It comes easier for them, their head is just wired for music? They can more easily communicate with their fingers to achieve what they hear in their head.

For the most part it got shot down in favor of a "with enough practice anyone can do it" mindset. I'm still sellin' the talent angle. I think some people just have something in their DNA that makes the whole math/science/art of music (or playing a guitar as it applys here) easier to digest and execute. Sure, there's plenty to be said for practice but I sure would like a little helping of that "talent" thing.

Hey Rich- how about that crazy bend in bar 4 of the WLL solo? I can't get it - I have to move up a couple of frets and settle for a 1 1/2 step bend. For a short solo it's great- looking forward to your video :) Good Luck
