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 />
