Spot on. I think a piano is the best example. No one sits down at the piano and can just rip the first time.

Almost anyone though can learn to play piano if they practice enough. You don't have to be the best in the world either to make good music.

Then there is a huge difference between being a great piano player and being a great composer of music in a creative sense.

Culturally though, I would think we are going backwards. I feel like I would know so much less in this area if I was 25 years younger and grew up with a phone instead of a PC.
