Of course nik0tine, thats why every bass player can if they wish play like Les Claypool, every drummer like Neil Peart, every guitarist like Steve Vai. it takes years of practise, an understanding (and love) of music and a good ear, talent is the product of that.
Hard work is the product of that. Anyone with fingers can play bass like Les Claypool. All it takes is time and practice. It's writing music that takes talent.

Yes. I am that egotistical.
