George was only 15-years-old when he first joined the Beatles (“The Quarrymen”). It is very unfortunate that we do not have videotapes and recordings of what they sounded like, but it was undoubtedly not nearly what the Beatles sounded like when they finally got recording contracts in 1962. Gladwell points out in Chapter Two of his book that the Beatles got together as a band and went to Hamburg, Germany, where they played eight hours a day, using amphetamines and whatever else was available.
Malcolm Gladwell’s excellent book, Outliers, points out that it takes 10,000 hours of practice and experience to become accomplished, and to reach “genius level” at any given vocation or activity.
