Is this an autism thing or not?

190E(Taylor’s version)

So when I see someone explained a guitar strumming pattern I don’t get it

but I can figure it out just by playing and within seconds it sounds right 

is having a super good ear for music that quick a trait of autism?

or is it that something has been explained to me and my sensory processing disorder make it so it takes so long ro set in?

  • Perhaps you learn quicker by doing the task yourself rather than someone show you. I’d much rather learn through error and train my brain the way I know it works best than have someone else show me how they want me to absorb the information. You just have to do what works best for you.

    None of it makes any sense to me whether written, shown or explained or a mix of all three. I'd love to be able to play something, but music just isn't my thing.

    I still don't know the difference between a beat, a rhythum, a melody or whatever and the timing, how does one work that out? I know some kindly tried to explain it to me in a previous thread but I'm still none the wiser.
