No training! Try me! Self taught and I play seven or so intruments plus program on VST/Protools etc.
If they couldn't play a standard instrument they could DJ and make art, or be considered experimental.
R.E.M. sung the praises of lesser skill when they picked up mandolins for their groundbreaking album....XXXXXX (can't remember the name, it had "losing my religion" on it).
It makes you look at the melodies differently. Simpler. Things you avoid once proficient.
