No.

2019-11-14 04:06:32 UTC  

not at all

2019-11-14 04:06:37 UTC  

All they'd have is the dexterity from other things.

2019-11-14 04:06:38 UTC  

your fingers will just be swifter maybe

2019-11-14 04:06:45 UTC  

Okay, here. Let's make this a bit easier for you Seabass

2019-11-14 04:06:59 UTC  

Take a knight, and give him a sword. Train him in only a sword, and shield.

2019-11-14 04:07:03 UTC  

For decades.

2019-11-14 04:07:10 UTC  

Take away his sword and shield, and now give him a two handed axe.

2019-11-14 04:07:16 UTC  

Will his muscle memory transfer over, to a completely new way of fighting?

2019-11-14 04:07:35 UTC  

your arms will be stronger but you still have no idea how to wield the axe

2019-11-14 04:07:37 UTC  

Or just the balance and dexterity, and some basic footwork

2019-11-14 04:07:45 UTC  

Not to mention the range will be different

2019-11-14 04:07:55 UTC  

And you'll be using a clumsier weapon, with a much smaller striking point 🤷

2019-11-14 04:08:07 UTC  

Now let's take the keyboard to piano example, and break it down further

2019-11-14 04:08:17 UTC  

Dexterity would that not help you??

2019-11-14 04:08:19 UTC  

The person on the keyboard, has much less room than a piano.

2019-11-14 04:08:26 UTC  

The piano is HUGE

2019-11-14 04:08:28 UTC  

yeah but barely at all

2019-11-14 04:08:37 UTC  

You need so much more movement and speed, to get things done

2019-11-14 04:08:39 UTC  

about as much as drinking water your whole life would help you drink a beer faster

2019-11-14 04:08:50 UTC  

Genuinely watch professional piano players, seabass

2019-11-14 04:08:52 UTC  

Watch their entire body

2019-11-14 04:08:59 UTC  

Shoulders, arms, hands, legs, feet.

2019-11-14 04:09:03 UTC  

They are moving them.

2019-11-14 04:09:08 UTC  

A keyboard..you barely move, typing.

2019-11-14 04:09:17 UTC  

all your body knows in terms of muscle memory is "in this spot, there's A"

2019-11-14 04:09:19 UTC  

^

2019-11-14 04:09:28 UTC  

Oh no I'm mot doubting the skill gap lmao

2019-11-14 04:09:30 UTC  

so it doesn't carry over at all when there's no longer an alphabetical layout

2019-11-14 04:09:34 UTC  

Violin players have that same thing.

2019-11-14 04:09:43 UTC  

muscle memory isn't something that you grow and it gets stronger for EVERYTHING

2019-11-14 04:09:45 UTC  

A lot of people think it's just their arms, but in reality it's the enitre upper body lmao

2019-11-14 04:09:48 UTC  

it just gets stronger for that ONE thing youre training

2019-11-14 04:09:52 UTC  

Yeah. Muscle memory has to be trained for entirely new skills.

2019-11-14 04:10:03 UTC  

You can't just transfer your muscle memory, too something similar.

2019-11-14 04:10:05 UTC  

Well yeah the pianois fucking huge

2019-11-14 04:10:06 UTC  

That'd actually be BAD.

2019-11-14 04:10:12 UTC  

even if you use a small piano

2019-11-14 04:10:16 UTC  

it won't transfer over

2019-11-14 04:10:19 UTC  

If you tried to take your MM skills with a keyboard, and go to a piano it'd be hell.

2019-11-14 04:10:24 UTC  

You'd actually end up doing worse.
