Rabs Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 That was cool.. thanks for posting.... I think though that the one thing it doesn't and indeed cant scientifically go into is the state of a player when they are in the zone... you know... that place when you kind of become one with your instrument and the music and everything else floats away... I have always looked at it as akin to meditation.... Accessing parts of our brains that we don't normally use in every day life (well unless you are a pro musician :))... And therefore opening parts of our brains up and expanding our horizons. Oh and heres an embedded version for those who cant be bothered to click on the link :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capmaster Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Very enlightening video, thanks for linking it here. It says nothing about differences between e. g. Gibson and Fender. ;) Anyway, they all seem to make my brain dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabs Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Me - or the guitar? Lol... the player... Because obviously players with longer necks (tennons) play with better tone and sustain :P (don't worry, im just being very silly :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 It's my observation that the higher-end talents - not just skilled players, but talents - often are "odd" in how they think. Those with midrange talent - most professionals of all genres IMHO - and good skill often are more like the rest of us who have a range of talents and skills in life - and generally think more like others. For most humans, participating in music and/or dance performance does IMHO do good things for the brain and thought processes. Most of us, whether musicians or not, do tend to get involved in music in their minds... tapping feet, swaying, etc. So I guess I see something of a continuum at all levels whether a basically neolithic society such as Amerind tribal "drum" groups, or "us" with bands and symphonies of professionals, where some of "us" seem called to the higher end of music performance through creating it - while others respond to it. It's an interesting insight into culture overall, too - since all of us humans seem to have parallel perspectives on music as part of our lives. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skilsaw Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 My spine is 25 1/2 inches. Same as the scale length on my axe. The spacing of my vertebrae replicates the spacing of the frets perfectly. Not only that, I'm F___ing amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Here is an article from one of my mentors. He was the most brilliant person I've ever known. I think he summed it up well. Most of my Ph.D. and M.D. colleagues play an instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The say the best things you can do to stimulate and keep your brain healthy are, learn to play and instrument and speak a foreign language… Never thought I was capable of either and now I do both… Just goes to show you you can do anything you really want or need to do...

Does Manglish qualify as a second language? ' Cos if it does I'm halfway to fulfilling your requirements. Now all I need to do is be able to play an insrument!
