Music Abilities & Savant Syndrome

[Hoofbite]

I've always been fascinated with Savant Syndrome. The areas of talent are so incredibly far ahead of anything that I can imagine being able to do.

Just incredible.

I'm not 100% sure he has Savant Syndrome.

I'm simply taking a little bit of a guess. Video only says that he's blind but ability is so far advanced for having only played for 3 years and his other behaviors lead me to believe that he has Savant Syndrome.

Music he plays starts at 5:30 so after you get an idea of the song, check it out.

Amazing.

It does look like like he has an unusually well developed ability/skill.

I'd go with the term "prodigy" in a situation where it isn't clear that the person exhibits significant deficits in most other areas.

But whatever people wish to call the ability/skill, it is remarkable.
