Tourist to a hillbilly banjo picker:
"Do you read music"? reply "Not enough to hurt my playing."

or "Hell, there aint no notes on a banjo, you just play the thing."

Which really meant that they could read music, and it was no big deal.

It depends on the teacher. A good teacher must be able to inspire the student to achieve more. A good player isn't always a good teacher.

One thing that is really important, be in the same room with a good teacher.
That's the best method of learning.

I think it really depends on the teacher. Great teachers know how to get their students to excel. I have had many teachers over the years but only a handful really stood out.
