for example, i thai box and am involved with the fighting arts. as my ability to play and react fast to music such as yourself or buckethead, ect. i notice that my ability to react faster and see openings has greatly improved. even my math and balance/physical coordination is better. is it just coincidence or do you think theres a connection between guitar playing, and improving the entire central nervous system, or is my MMA training responsible, or a mix? because i know for a fact i never used to have the quick wit's to no where to go for certain shreds and it seems like thats translated to quicker wits in all aspects of my life.

i know guitar playing or just music in general helps your math, becouse of all the timing and everything like that. but helping with better reflexes is something i think comes with time and by that i mean how long you spend with your guitar every day, you know what i mean but i would say its a mix.  |

Lots of other ways that music enhances your life too, such as seducing lots of great women, fame, fortune, gold teeth, etc.  I Started early... Fame: I'm still a Wannabe Fortune: I owe the bank just that Woman: I can't remember wich arm it's beneath, I just remember some hair Gold Teeth: I still have the original Colgate Smile ;D ;D ;D |

Funny, I started music early (read: ~4yrs, 1st guitar @6, quit after a month or so, later played flute for a few years), and then, unfortunately quit (Id have 9 yrs of guitar instead of a lil over 1...), and I did really well until I got to Calculus, which was just way confusing (Ill still pull a B+ or so, but I had to work my @$$ of for it). I wonder if the more advanced math is related to any much more complex musical stuff, or something else, or more of the same, the brain is pretty damn interesting

Mark, I think there is a direct correlation to learning an instrument and math, hearing, "listening speed" and many more benefits to numerous to mention. I studied boxing and judo when I was very young but realized that it might someday jeopardize my guitar playing so I stopped both. Plus, there are people like Jim Gillette (260) that have the genetics and mindset to be pro caliber, world class fighters. (Jim is probably one of the "baddest", toughest people on the planet. I have seen him "in action" when I was in "Nitro"). In conclusion, I think anything that challenges your mind is great and exercises that force your body to become stronger and healthier can only help. |

Well when I got into modes (and Im sure Im not alone here) I started having to do all kinds of math to make all the connections and logic. it all starts to become very symmetrical and awe inspiring. Its amazing they were even discovered.
