My friend Shane, who teaches guitar lessons to kids in VA, relayed this dialogue from his first lesson with a 20 year old who has played about 4 years:

Kid: "I have this weird neurological thing where instead of knowing chords I see them as colors."

Shane: "Cool. So what color is G?"

Kid: "It's like Orange. Not Orange Orange, but Orangeish."

Shane: "I wish I saw things like that."

Kid: "It kind of sucks."
