@Guitarkadia practiced 6 hours a day first few weeks, then typically average of 30-60 min/day #GuitarChat

@GaryMarcus How close are you from doing your 10,000 hours? :-) #GuitarChat

@Guitarkadia #GuitarChat > 1,000, < 10,000, but see my TEDNYC talk; that number is an oversimplification

@GaryMarcus Has learning the guitar changed other aspects of your life? Productivity, thinking, research? #GuitarChat

@Guitarkadia Learning guitar has made me a more balanced person & introduced me to grat new friends (and changed my science). #GuitarChat

@GaryMarcus Love that 'Changed my science'! How so, can you just give us a quick idea? #GuitarChat

@Guitarkadia I used to study how kids learn language, now I can compare and contrast w music; great to broaden one's mind. #GuitarChat

@GaryMarcus What are the top 3 factors that prevent people from learning the guitar past a certain age? Is it fear, is it doubt? #GuiarChat
