Yeah, that would make sense. Y'know when you hear of Joel Mull, Vath, Matthew Herbert etc. who are "classically trained", it kind of creates an impression as if it were born into their blood (well, it's probably easier to learn early in life), but the fact is many of these people have trained and actually learned their trade in many senses, besides being very good at what they do. And before someone tells me Vath has co-producers, ok! I'm just using him as an example ;)

Classical training is one thing, however classical training in particular may not be necessary for all, depends what suits certain people best.. be it learning the drums, guitar, keyboard or whatever.
