Oh and neoprog doesn't mean new prog. It means that tepid new agey bull****.
If I can tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue that's a talent. Not a particularly good talent, but a talent nonetheless. If someone can play a guitar at all, that's a talent, and so is being able to play a guitar well. It's not a talent that necessarily makes them talented at making music, but it is a talent.
