Ahhhh but Jim have you ever considered that may be due not to a lack of talent, but like myself, due instead to a specific learning difficulty?
I am dyslexic and my hand writting will never be any good, and my spelling, well admitedly that has gotten better over the years, slightly. Along with my dyslexcia comes a spat of dyspraxcia which affects my fine moter controls which in turn means that my guitar is coming along slowly, yet it is now better than it was two years ago. Yes of course some of us may well have biological advantages or disadvantages in doing some things, but would you eqaute 'talent' to biological advantage? Is the tall man a talented pole volture because he is tall?
