I'm curious to hear why you think it's not true.Cuz it's just fuckin' ridiculous, different how, cuz of what, have they got a fuckin' tumour or something? I dunno what constitutes a guitar player but i knew a scale or two, i know all the beginner chords, i know barre chords and all that, i ain't fuckin' Chuck Berry or nothing but I probably know more than the average, the whole thing sounds like a load of bullshit. I mean you're not born a guitar player are you, it's like anything, plumbing or being a brickie or an electrician, it's something you learn, how all of a sudden is your 'brain different' cuz you decided to pick up a bit of wood, plastic and metal and make a racket with it in your spare time, all of a sudden everybodys gotta be fuckin' 'different', it's a load of cobblers, any old fuckin' moron can pick up the guitar, it's just about fuckin' time really, developing motor skills, just doing it and doing it and doing it and doing it and doing it...thats 5 doings 'it's a way of life!', no it's not you daft cunt, it's a fuckin' guitar Edited May 10, 2014 by sugaraylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's a little hard to digest, but it mostly deals with improvisation, and what happens internally in your head when you're coming up with solos that sound good on the spot.Take Hendrix for example: some musicians said he had a direct connection to his "soul" while he was playing. Especially live on stage.Personally, I can honestly tell you that sometimes when I play a lead on top of a chord progression I totally forget about what I'm technically doing and just "feel it". But it's more then that, it's a freaky state of mind, like... you just know exactly where to go and every note you hit is the right one, and the guitar in that moment is just an extention of your body. For me it only lasts for a few minutes at a time.Don't know what the right label for it, but there is something different that goes on inside when it happens imo.

That's exactly why it's facepalm-worthy. Of course their brains are working differently when playing guitar than are those of people who haven't played guitar; they're doing different things with their brains.
