Correlation between guitar and CP skills
By andr1y, history, 3 years ago, In English

Do you play on a guitar? Does somebody among top coders play on a guitar? If you do, what is your favorite song? And, a little strange question, but which chord do you like the most?

I'm not a top coder or a guitar player but my favorite chord is the diameter.

Do you write useless blogs? Does somebody among top coders write useless blogs? If you do, which is your most useless blog? And, a little strange question, but which most useless blog do you like the most?

yeah, I think that guitar does impact on your coder skills. for instance, I play electric guitar for years and I think it is a great way to have a rest between solving hard problems. if you can play some hard solos then you can write code faster and it always give your brain some break.So, as I play guitar better than you, my rating is higher :). As for favorite song, I think that mine is Another Life by Motionless in White. but if you could play Paranoid Android by Radiohead you will be a step closer to my rating, so go on!

    With this correlation, all gamers must have very high ratings bruh.

    PS : The only correlation with CP is maths. Those who are brilliant in maths are always and always good at CP.
    The reason you are high rated is that you have good mathematical skills and you must be proud of it, ig yeah everyone should be for themselves ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Pretty sure I'm not a "top coder", but I play the guitar. I don't have a particular favorite song (it really just depends on what I've been listening to), since after half a year of playing and up to last year, I just ended up using it to aid in composing some casual stuff and pretty much nothing else. My current favorite chords are Asus4 and Amadd9 (just because they fit in so well in some of my compositions).

Not sure how correlated guitar playing is with competitive programming, but I guess composing does make you a bit better at looking at problems in a structured manner.

If playing the guitar would've helped then I would've definitely been Orange and above because I've been doing it for 11 years now but still I'm a grey T_T. My favorite chord is F maj.
