What is a "prodigy"? It's a term we use loosely all the time, but through our interviews with Li-Sa-X, Marty Friedman, and Dr. Ellen Winner, we find out what this rarefied classification is really all about.

    ESPSJ The only worry, and it's a very real one for prodigies, is if she'll burn out before she can actually create meaningful and lasting music. Whether it be musically or otherwise I've seen a lot of stories about extremely talented kids burn out and never do anything of any real significance as a result in their original passion.

    Maximus Meridius I have always wondered do prodigies peak faster.What I mean is will her ability to get better stay at the same pace as in the beginning or will it eventually start to slow down maybe faster than a person starting later? Assuming they did not burn out.For example, let's fast forward 20 years from now at put her against someone who started at 16 and was not prodigy. So she will be 30 and the other 36.Will she most likely be better than that person.Also let's assume they both practice 8 hours a day and no other factors like carpel tunnel.

    Young prodigies shine like a quasar next to their peers when they're children, but once they're older they usually do not stand out against your average person who has put in a lot of time and practice in the normal manner. I think they just hit their peak earlier and with less effort. I'm not knocking prodigies; it's just something I've observed. I've followed Li-Sa-X for the past few years and I find her incredibly inspiring. I'm not one of those people who say foolish things like "I'm going to throw my guitar out the window" when seeing a young person tear it up.

    This video is wonderful, this rational explanation of "the prodigy" is so important. I might show it to every person who sends me a video of a "genius" child on Facebook. It's so loaded, and restrictive to the child, to be so simplistic. As adults every time we see a child, our first instinct should be one of care, not being entertained. Anyway, I would like to disagree (for the sake of discussion, not nit-picking) with one claim in the video. That originality (and it's elusiveness to children) is a result of ingesting all previous work in a field, then doing something *else*. This is totally wrong, in my opinion. Imagine you give blank canvases and paints to two people: One a revered artist and scholar, a great historian in the field and skilled practitioner. The second person is an alien from space. Or a person who's never seen a painting and has no idea what the concept of visual representation is about. And you say "Do something original". Who will do better? Who will have the easier job? The guy who first has to painstakingly avoid millions of previous paintings, by thousands of artists over hundreds of years, like a boat navigating round millions of rocks? Or the guy with clear, open water? Maybe you could make a video like this one, but defining "originality". Sure, it's something new, something previously never done. But if you say someone is "a true original" what you mean is they are unique, instantly identifiable. This is a different definition, but actually causes that person to be "original" as in "new", too. So originality isn't usually achieved by being painstakingly, deliberately different to everything previous. It's achieved by being quintessentially yourself. By finding your own uniqueness, which we all possess no matter how small, and which makes you different from anyone else now or ever, and running with it. I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this. :)

    Hi Jon! Thanks for the thoughtful commentary as always. Re: originality, I don't disagree at all. But I think we could have been clearer on what we meant by "creativity". "Big C" as a designation appears to typically be applied to watershed breakthroughs which build on prior art. Like adding the missing piece to a physics puzzle that leans on centuries of other breakthroughs. The hypothetical space alien would probably have the edge on being radically original. But s/he isn't going to understand the myriad conventions necessary to write something still recognizable as a symphony or a novel, while simultaneously evolving its form. That is, pretty much by definition, something which takes time to learn.

  • @jongomm

    @Troy: I'd be wary of the scientific breakthrough as an analogy for artistic originality. A neanderthal painter could be *original* (not necessarily "good") without any knowledge of painting, but a neanderthal scientist can't just use his innate creativity or self-expression to invent a new... erm... sciency thing. :D The equivalent of a science-style external "invention" or "discovery" might be the endless guitarists' debate about who invented tapping. It's a curiosity but it's musically an almost total irrelevance, a footnote. As for knowing conventions: That's really a potential shortcut to originality. I fully understand your point about usually needing a familiar framework for your original work. But in terms of the original act: It's actually very easy to break rules once you've learnt them. Anyone can play a scale with one note changed, or an eleven bar blues. That's why it doesn't work: You aren't suddenly gonna write original music because you "invented" a scale. Like inventing tapping, it's not an artistically creative act, really. All you're doing is changing your brush for a different brush. You've still gotta do the painting.

I want to sincerely thank you for this, as a guitar player who's been working on getting better every day since I started playing I've also had problems with the "inside picking" stuff so I mainly stay away from it or device other solutions like Mary did here, but yesterday I spent about two hours practicing an Eric Johnson pentantonic lick from "Trail of Tears" and just couldn't get it, the frustration made me look for some answers everywhere and one of the first videos I found was your Paul Gilbert one, it blew me away.

    I started playing 2 years ago at the age of 22. I've always regretted not having picked up the guitar properly back when I was in 8th grade. My guitar rotted on the shelf for years. I picked it up a couple of times but then ended up deciding that I don't have the time for it. I've always felt insecure about starting late and seeing kids like Lisa always makes me nervous. I've actually learned fairly quickly despite being self-taught partially thanks to people like Troy. This video helped me a lot. Didn't know I needed this.

    @hattohanzo Yes, it is an emotion but nevertheless requires some mechanical activity for performance reasons... Some know-how of the instrument is mandatory... I might have all the emotion in the world, but with zero practice on - let's say playing the violin in a violin piece - then all that emotion will not leave my head and get into other's ears. I think that we should accept that there's a "sport" element in performing such an art piece because we're also dealing with hand mechanical activity, which involves muscular memory which is trained in a similar fashion as in a sport. That also applies to vibratos to some extent. I also prefer tasty vibratos, but even them alone are just also like "bread without salt" for some...(when not accompanied by something else). I guess that the importance and priority of technique type practice is a matter of preference related to the type of music you are into.

    the accent is the toughest thing for adults to master. It may require a lot of conscious effort and practice to get it right and most people invest far more time into grammar and vocabulary when learning a new language. Kids have the ability to pick up the accent with relative ease but they may struggle more with some grammar structures and vocabulary if they are at a very young age.
