you don't need to go to music school to be a good musician mate....
I remember a Paul McCartney piece I read years ago...
he was asked to give a speech at some music/performing arts school/university in his home town of Liverpool and one of the things he told the students was (and I hope I quote him accurately) went something like "music comes from the heart, its a feeling, an emotion. look at all the great rock musicians, they never had formal training they taught themselves how to play instruments and write songs. all these places can do is possibly hone what is inside you, it cannot be learnt, it cannot be taught, you either have it in you or you don't, and that goes with anything in the arts fields"
needless to say, his speech was not what the faculty expected him to say, that said,, that was roughly what he said and only a small part of his talk.
