Example: If someone wants to be a drummer, but just isnt able to keep a beat, are you saying with alot of hard work, he will become the next 'Bonham', 'Peart', 'Tommy Lee', etc.? Ive seen this often before. I would never tell someone they just dont have what it takes, I simply wouldnt hire them. Even still, I think everyone should enjoy playing music, in what ever form they choose. Regardless of talent. And I would be willing to always help them in any way that I could. So....If you believe hard work has more to do with it, that is your right of opinion. But I can not subscribe to that theory....Peace.

Yeah I get the Funk is not R&B/Soul and is more of a feel, but That's why I said Eddie Hazel, because that's what he seems like. The natural funk rhythm and loud guitar. Yes if your tone deaf or can not keep a beat you are not going to be a great musician (generally speaking). If you can keep a beat that's not talent, because that's average. You can even be below average as a musician and still keep a beat. Regardless of talent (except if you can not keep a beat or are tone deaf) if you practice your ass off at your instrument your going to be great at it. That's why I say it has more to do with hard work.
