For example: we had some guests over while my dad was playing guitar, one of the guests just picked up a spare guitar and started playing with him.
Or [that one video of the two sax players.](https://youtu.be/1_9IMZcbKHQ)
They hadn’t spoke before and they just started making music with each other.
I’m sorry I’m not very good at describing it but how can a musician just start a duet without talking. It seems like magic.

Music is arranged into certain patterns or ‘Keys’ If the musician knows what key you are playing in then they just have to play in the same key and the music is harmonious. Musicians with a good ear can even find the key by just listening to the song. There are only 12 keys. On guitar each of the keys arrange neatly into scales think of it like visual pattern this pattern can be moved up and down the neck of the guitar in the exact same shape thus producing all of music after memorizing a few patterns. This patterned based nature of music is why there are prodigies in music because once you have memorized these patterns there is no more knowledge really to learn, you can use those patterns to figure out all the more complex things like chords etc. I can teach you how to play guitar in about 20 minutes getting your fingers to actually make the shapes and move in time takes about 3 years to learn 10 years to master.
