Never learned the classic way. In high school 45 years ago before the advent of the computer age I took a typing class but just couldn't get the hang of it. Even with a computer key pad I just use my two index fingers. I can't put my two hands and fingers over the key pad in the way one used to do with a typewriter and fly over the keys. I see people, young people especially to whom a typewriter is a museum piece and I'm in awe of how fast they can do it. If I played my drums the way I use a key pad I'd be booed off the stage.

Typing and playing the piano require the same level of hand eye coordination. Interestingly, the keyboard is set up so that your left hand does most of the typing. Most of the finger work on a guitar involves using the left hand. Music is a right brain activity. But left handed people tend to reverse the guitar so that they use their right hand more.

Just thinking out loud. :-)
