Twitch.tv: Musician's Playground of Trained Hand-Eye Coordination and Muscle Memory in Gaming

by Randy N.

   If you want your talents to pave a path towards a career, you have to put in due time and diligence to master a certain skill of your choice. I’m sure some of you have heard the saying, “It takes 10,000 hours to master a skill.” Though I do not believe this rule to be the case.   It is amazing what you can accomplish in a single day with effective and efficient practice techniques whether you are an artist, ballet dancer, or even a construction worker.   In this article, I'll be discussing the joys of my passions and my obsession with muscle memory and hand-eye coordination.   The Joy of Music   Elementary school was when I began noticing a joy in music.
