“Are you from a musical family and if so has it helped your playing?”
I don’t think there is much question that the likelihood of getting encouragement and support for one’s musical endeavors is higher and more qualitative in a musical family. Add to this that there is a much higher likelihood that a young person in a musical family will be exposed to more music (in general) when growing up as well as given guidance in the learning process.
Maybe above all is the wiring process in the brain (at a very early age) is influenced by environment.
