Q: Hi Bill! I have a question about the whole self taught thing... So, I'm a classically trained musician and started to play some Latin instruments. I decided to travel to another country to watch in person how my idols played. I didn't speak any Spanish, but it was super valuable to meet them in person. It took me two years to implement what I saw. I did sort of talk to them, and they did point out some stuff, but honestly not much. I did most of the analysis and implementation in my practice. Does that count as being self taught?
A: sure
