brushwolfWas thinking. Skill builds on itself. The more I experience and the more skilled I get, the more I can get more out of experience and training to plug back in; my brain's now capable of understanding the pattern, and improvising off that.
So now I am thinking what consists of natural talent is the initial core of material to plug into, build and improvise off of; the "talented" person is much more the person who can hit the ground running, where the rest of us need to stretch out, warm up.
It's not like Mozart started out as late-20s-something-Mozart, it's more like Mozart as a 10 year old prodigy had a lot more of the stuff that he could work with to build 28-year-old-Mozart skills.
