Going Mental

I’ve become convinced that playing a musical instrument is almost completely mental. What I mean by that is that it is the belief that you can do it. We have all heard those stories of the little kid playing something incredible out of nowhere or the idiot savant who could play beautifully. My argument is that they do it because *they don’t know they can’t.*

I am having trouble finding the exact quote, but Henry Ford said if you think you can do something, or that you can’t do something, you are right.

(You thought that from the title of this entry it was going to be about Charlie Sheen, didn’t you?)
