A savant is someone who has MAD FREAKIN' skills for no reason.

Such as people who have never touched a piano and can all od a sudden beat Beethoven's head in piano playing wise.

Most savants have had brain damage, though.

If you watch House (TV show), he had a patient that was a savant, his brain damage was he thought he was 12 years old.

Discuss about these phenomenons.
Blind people with like 4 learning impairments slaughter housing even the best elite piano players?
I would love to have that ability, I don't care about the brain damage, music is life to so many people.


EDIT:I found the same video on youtube that I posted that was on a differen't site.
I did not see the sexually orientated videos on the side :P
YouTube FTW.

I feel bad for them.

They rule at piano and all, but being blind and autistic isn't very fun. And only having the ability to do one thing is not so great either. Imagine if they were to break their wrists. They'd be screwed.

I'd still kill for Savantism.
Music is life, that kind of talent would be amazing, I know it would be tough, but I would love it.

That's what practicing 10 hours a day does for normal people.

*wishes he had 10 hours a day to practice*

I don't have much guitar practice time anymore, but I just had a three-day band practice so :D
