The Ghost of RubangB on 20 April 2010
Robert Fripp says when he first picked up a guitar he was tone deaf and could barely tune the thing. Now look at him. He teaches his own guitar class with his own invented tunings, and he's (IMHO) one of the greatest guitarists of the 20th century.
And then there's jerks like Paul McCartney, who can't even read music but can write a song like "Yesterday" in his sleep, do backwards tape loops for "Tomorrow Never Knows," play every instrument on some of his solo albums, and put together the "Golden Slumbers Medley."
This is definitely my favorite thread. Thanks for all the great discussion on both sides everybody.
