Hmm, I might not be a prodigy, but I wonder what you think of this:

I have been playing my bass for only 2 years and 8 months. In this time, everything I have accomplished I have done only by myself. I had no teacher, save my cd's. Now, I think I can say that I have reached a level of playing that is well... fast (the guitarist playing for 8 years is slower than I am), I can improvise solo's quite easily, I do NOT read any notes, I do know what note is what fret on my board, but I cannot read those papers with lines and notes. Now, I have been dabbling into some of the symphonic rock(YES). In about one hour, I have learned myself the complete song of Heart of the Sunrise (it's 11 minutes). Is this an extraordinary feat or not, cause people in my band say I am really really good though I myself think I am less than most players. Maybe you guys could give me some insight.
No, you suck. Get off the stage, die, burn in hell, rise from the dead, then die some more.
