From Guitar Zero:<br />
Although any number of studies show that the more you<br />
practice, the better you get, startlingly few studies have<br />
asked the critical question, which is what happens when<br />
people of different ages get the same amount of practice.<br />
[ . . . ] I decided to become a guinea pig. I couldn’t force<br />
other adults to practice for 10,000 hours, but I could<br />
experiment on myself : I would see what happened if I<br />
personally devoted myself to music full-time. This is the<br />
story of how I came to distinguish my musical elbow<br />
from my musical derrière.<br />
If someone as tuneless as me could make progress,<br />
perhaps there was hope for anyone.<br />
