TBH I could play guitar ridiculously fast when I was at my peak at starcraft bw.

still requesting shirtless emu guitar videos tho

I really want to get into piano though. I really enjoy piano as an instrument.

I think the skill of learning to dedicate yourself to getting good at things you enjoy is what's important. So it's not really about being a musician it's about understanding what it takes to improve at things, etc.

Or just play dota forever and at some point you will be good even without dedication, rofl.

I might be able to record a guitar video after finals. I finished learning always with you, always with me by Joe Satriani and I wanted to record it at some point.

The theory does not work 100% of the time. But I bet if you did a brain scan of someone playing guitar and someone playing dota, they would be using a lot of same parts of the brain.

Yeah I agree with this. Having the dedication of learning an instrument, and almost more importantly, having the dedicaiton to getting better at it is similar to having the discipline of getting better at dota. Its hard to do both at the same time though.

I've actually been super inspired lately to play guitar harmonically by this guy -


I wish I could find some sort of career in music, but I know the realities don't meet what I actually would want out of a career like that. So dead life instead.

jk ilu I'm sorry for being mean.

What? I'm actually 4k without trying

With zero dedication to dota i'm in the top 1% of players that is pretty fucking disgusting.

i'm sure there's dedicated players out there that are far more terrible

like i'm not claiming i'm the best player ever of all time, and i completely lack the dedication to climb. So.

being 4k w/o trying isn't that hard. i'm more impressed by the people that put in minimal effort and are 5k.
