Just decided to stop practincing my guitar

>believing it all comes down to "muh nature"
Fuck that shit. You should be looking at that sort of stuff and if you're feeling jealous, then work towards getting to that level, and pushing it even further. Not giving up because you feel you won't ever reach that level.

Fuck that mentality of giving up because someone's better than you. Yeah, nature does influence people - but it's not nearly as much as you think. Paul McCartney might've been someone with a great ear for music, but if he hadn't been developed a love for all sorts of music early on and kept pushing it further and further, he wouldn't be one of the greatest musicians to ever live. Some people have an easier start, but with enough dedication you can surpass them.

>being an instrument player when you could be part of the superior composer class
The musician is just the technical vehicle for the composer, nothing more.

electronic music is the future. put down your little wood block and start composing.

Easiest said then done. You believe in fairies too? Also, the guy probably practice from earlier age, as I stated in the post. Practice do play a significant role, and so do genetics. But practice also comes down to genetics so genetics is, at least 75%.

This finger picking seems well done, but it is really repetitive and more intuitive. He is fast, just that.

>he thinks talent matters in music

>>74596128
It matters in _music_. It doesn't matter in _success_.

>>74596128
lol I bet you think we're all equal huh
IQ correlates strongly with creativity

even disregarding creativity, a complex skill like playing an instrument is going to be faster to learn and have a higher ceiling the higher your IQ is

Success is music. Only money matters. "Art" is a coping mechanism for the unsuccessful.

LOL if you really think this then what the fuck are you doing on this board? most of the shit posted here is just a /mu/ wankfest lacking a lot of mainstream/monetary success.
