Guitar Players’ Brains are Especially Intuitive, According to Science

Playing the guitar requires hand-eye coordination, creativity, memory, intuition,  improvisation, and countless other functions of the brain. Anyone who has ever tried learning the guitar knows just how  difficult it can be, and even professional players struggle sometimes. It seems that common bond goes beyond the frustrations  of playing, however. In fact, according to a scientific study, all guitar players’ brains share a special chemistry.
One of the findings concluded that guitar players have the ability to “sync” their brains, and  essentially read each others’ minds while playing and even anticipate what is to come. This all has to do with neural  networks and brain chemistry, which explains the phenomenon of a band seemingly being a single functioning unit, and perhaps  even makes it clear why there are so many successful bands made up of family members. In other words, the closer the brain  chemsitry, the better the band chemistry.
Another common conclusion from one of  the studies is that guitar players happen to be more intuitive than most and thus have exceptional improvisational skills.
According to Mic.com, researchers found that “when a guitarist shreds, he  or she temporarily deactivates the brain region that routinely shuts down when achieving big-picture goals, signaling a shift  from conscious to unconscious thought. And when mere mortals (non-musicians) attempt a solo, the conscious portion of their  brain stays on, which indicates that real guitarists are able to switch to this more creative and less practical mode of  thinking more easily.”
It seems obvious that musicians are more artistic, right-brained people, but these studies show just how special guitar  players are in particular. According to a Vanderbilt study, guitar players are better than other musicians at understanding a song via observation  or listening than just reading the sheet music.
In the end, it all happens in the brain, but for guitar players, it seems their brains are just a little different. As if  we didn’t already know!

Especially drummers and bass players.

Pie Annie and orchestral players will be studied next.

 
That should take up 15 minutes of the study.
 
Heh heh.

Well , I could have saved that guy all the time it took him to do his research...
I could have explained that whole mental concept to him very clearly over a cup of coffee

The article is for others Kenny.  "We" already knew this, ya? 

 
this does bring up an interesting train of thought ...
 
Have you ever thought what it would be like to have a direct telepathic connection with some of the forum members here?

And of course it's well known that intuition isn't trustworthy.... 

Is that what your gut's telling you?
