I'm not a drummer but my most inspiring example of picking up concepts is this video [1] of Larnell Lewis playing "Enter Sandman" by ear for the first time. Note how his vocabulary helps him learn the form of the song and its nuances. Software-development speaking, I feel you, I'm also slow at reading requirements. But I'm slower if I start with over-generalized use cases, rather than going through concrete scenarios. [1] [VIDEO]
