It sure is !INDEED ! And once you have reached a certain level of playing, which doesn’t need to be that high even, it starts being very relaxing to play. But that is after you’ve hardened your fingers and all πŸ˜‚

That reminds me of the stages of learning something: unconscious incompetence (you don't know that you don't know), conscious incompetence (you know that you don't know), conscious competence (you know that you know), and then unconscious competence (you don't know that you know - you've internalized it and do it without thought, body memory). Oh yeah, the fingers! I remember that when experimenting with guitars! πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

!INDEED

!INDEED !!! And they are very real!!
Unfortunately so many people are stuck in the second level thinking they know it all, and spreading their lack of wisdom everywhere. That’s one of the things you see with photography unfortunately…

Yes, I've realized their reality in my own experience! You've got that exactly right, and doing so retards their actual learning, thus preventing them from going to the next levels! πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

!INDEED

!INDEED it does prevent them from climbing up the levels, and what’s even worse is that in doing so, they show other people that there are only two levels, which is plain wrong of course…

Very much so, you're spot on about that! Hehe...yep, it's a case of dumb teaching dumber, with the limits already pre-set. Mastery was traded for skillz. πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

I heard somewhere that someone said β€œwhat works is replaced by what looks good”
And actually, the more I think about it, the more it looks right!

As for the fingers: when I play a lot for a while, my fingertips become so hard that I can simply push a nail into wood without even feeling anything of it πŸ˜‚

Yowzers, that's rather impressive, @borniet! Diamond fingers! 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™

Hahaha...I like the (yet)! You probably wouldn't want to try ohia (an endemic Hawaiian tree with very heavy, hard, and dense wood) then! Training perhaps? πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

Interesting about the tree though!!!
