Taylor seems to be exceedingly good with words and art, hence the question.
I am, literally, brain damaged. I worked assiduously to rewire my brain after the injury to rehabilitate and develop language skills, motor skills, musical skills, etc. I think I would have to be thrown out of any study - I'm not a valid sample. And while observers tell me "you learned guitar very, very fast, you must have a natural talent", in a way that belittles the amount of effort I put into it. It sure didn't feel like it "came naturally", it feels like I worked really, really hard. Same with drawing, and writing poetry. So, if I have a "natural ability", it might be the ability to concentrate, to focus completely, on whatever it is I'm trying to do.
