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.
