A music teacher was explaining to me that he figured out the wrong way to use his fingers on the piano when he was a kid and had to learn all over again how to position his hands. He can play correctly now but when he gets drunk enough he reverts to the old style which is way inferior :p I think it must depend on the person. I'm a music teacher myself and I completely relearned my guitar picking technique in my 20s but have never once gone back to the old way, even when drunk. In fact if I try the old way it just feels awkward and really unnatural. My typing feels the same, I can't physically type the way I used to, I'd have to totally retrain how to do it again. | ||

Yeah all of our brains definitely work differently. Everyone learns (and unlearns I suppose) differently. | ||

What I did was teach my left hand to type from home row (to boost my Hotkey accuracy), and now I can type from homerow with all four fingers being used. Now for my right hand... its like random with 4 fingers lol. I'll get to it some day.  | ||
