While watching this interview and reading about Joey Alexander, I was amazed by his natural abilities. I think talents like this can not be learned after a certain extent, it has to be natural and inside already. Joey is so different than other kids because of his sheer talent and his abilities to embellish and do his own thing set him apart. Although I’ve never met anyone like him to that extent, I do have a friend from high school that is able to pick up almost any instrument and play it after just a few times practicing; but I’ve never met anyone with talent to his extent.
