I'm a realist at heart...I'm talented and drawing comes naturally, but I'm not an artistic genius and I'm fully aware of that. I've come across a lot of people very much like myself but without the ability to realize they aren't Michaelangelo reincarnated. They end up making things harder for themselves because of that.
SO is that same way about music, though. He's also a painter and is on the same wavelength that I am about talent. Only he can also hear a song and then go play it on the guitar. He's convinced that's something anyone can do, no matter how many times I assure him that it's not. I'm sure I could eventually learn how to play a guitar, but I'll never be able to play like he can no matter what I do. As you say it's as natural to him as breathing, so he can't understand why others are so floored by it.
