What are some skills that you don’t understand at all?

For me music is at the top of the list. My husband can hear a tune and then with a few tries he can play the tune on the piano.

He barely had any music lessons but can somehow do that. I had guitar lessons, and my teacher tried to get me to do that, but I was terrible. So not only can’t I do it, I don’t really even know where I’d begin. The inability to even see the next step.

Like if I see a pro athlete do something, I know I can’t do it, but I get the basic idea of what they did to get to that stage on kind of a step by step basis. But when someone can hear music and then just play the melody, my mind is blown.

I'm the same. I can't play music and don't understand where to begin. I've even read books on music theory recently. After reading about the circle of fifths and not understanding (unable to see the pattern), music feels further out of reach than ever. If music is an art, it is a black art.
