I agree with Shaolin.
Just because you know the method doesn't mean you can do it effectively. I know that as a musician there are many others that excel around me, but none of them will ever reach the same level only because of natural talent. It is the ability to put something forward of yourself, not just the music, that makes harmony. If you have the instrument, but not the heart, it's just blank noise. Where as if you have both, a symphony can come forth.
Truly though, those of you that are true musicians out there know what I am talking about. That point where the world passes away and you transcend into another, all through the projection of sound and soul. This too, is a root of bardic magic.
(*fun fact: if you are a musician who's experienced this, next time you do, try putting an effect or face behind it. You'd be surprised what you can change just through music alone. *note, this only works when you enter that 'state' mentioned above.*)
