  1. I almost always have a song playing in my head. If I wake up in the middle of the night, something is on. It's always crystal clear, I can pause, adjust the eq (focus on drums, guitar, whatever). If I hear a few bars from a song I haven't heard in a decade, I can play it almost perfectly from start to finish. The only exposure to musical training I've had was music class in grade 7. I was on the xylophone. Learning to read from the sheet music was boring so I figured out the pieces tonally (if that's the word? I memorized which notes to hit at which times) and played along. Would you say that sounds like someone who has a brain wired for music and maybe music composition? If I have a talent, why haven't I explored it yet? Not sure, I don't think I realized I (may have) had a talent until recently. I've come close to taking piano lessons dozens of times since public school, just got sidetracked with other hobbies for some reason. I tried to learn chess. I read an article that said master chess players - people naturally wired for chess - remember almost every move of every game they've ever played. It's not hard for them, it's just how their brain works. Music is the only thing like that for me. I hear a song on the radio once and it's stuck in my head and I'm thinking 'that section would be way better like this...' I guess I'm looking for some opinions, does it sound like I have a brain wired for music? Is it worth reading books and taking lessons etc. I'm a little tired of diving into a hobby, putting years of effort into it to find I'm not suited for it and could never really be great at it. Thanks in advance,
