then why are there so many blind piano players and hardly any blind guitar players in the music business?
im going to go with guitar. you can feel the strings and the different gauges. with the piano you have no real way of telling where you are unless you play the notes or feel around for the black keys.
either way you still have to "memorize" how far up or down you are on the instrument.
i cant answer your question about why that ratio exists i dont really pay attention to that sort of stuff. but i think it may have something to do with the fact that in the mainstream guitar players don't do solo work (ei they are in bands) and being blind and in a band is a serious disadvantage especially if you play any form of rock where you have to a visual element to your performance. on the contrary, piano by itself is much more common. that all just a guess though

Simon Bolivar: Message to the Congress of Angorastura, 1819
We are not Europeans; we are not Indians; we are but a mixed species of aborigines and Spaniards. Americans by birth and European by law, we find ourselves engaged in a dual conflict; we are disputing with the natives for titles of ownership, and at the same time we are struggling to maintain ourselves in the country that gave us birth against the opposition of the invaders. Thus our position is most extraordinary and complicated. But there is more. As our role has always been strictly passive and political existence nil, we find that our quest for liberty is now even more difficult to accomplish; for we, having been placed in a state lower than slavery, had been robbed not only of our freedom but also of the right to exercise and active domestic tyranny…We have been ruled more by deceit than by force, and we have been degraded more by vice than by superstition. Slavery is the daughter of darkness; an ignorant people is a blind instrument of its own destruction. Ambition and intrigue abuses the credibility and experience of men lacking political, economic, and civic knowledge; they adopt pure illusion as reality; they take license for liberty, treachery for patriotism, and vengeance for justice. If a people, perverted by their training, succeed in achieving their liberty, they will soon lose it, for it would be of no avail to endeavor to explain to them that happiness consists in the practice of virtue; that the rule of law is more powerful than the rule of tyrants, because, as the laws are more flexible, everyone should submit to the beneficent austerity; that proper morals, and not force, are the basis of law; and that to practice justice is to practice liberty.
Of the three ideologies (nationalism, liberalism, conservatism), how would this revolution be classified?
How does Bolivar see his revolution as unique as compared to others such as the French Revolution?
Why must men be educated in the ways of politics and government?
Does Bolivar foresee any problems with the state after the revolution is concluded?
1. it's not "nationalism" because that's when people are fighting to seclude their ethnicity in one land but he states in the first sentence that we are a mixed species of aborigines... it seems like he argues both "conservatism" and "liberalism" though b/c at one point he states that his people have been robbed of their freedom and treated even worse than a slave but then at the end he states that "proper morals and not force are the basis of law...."
2. This is answered starting with the second sentence of his message:
Americans by birth and European by law, we find ourselves engaged in a dual conflict; we are disputing with the natives for titles of ownership, and at the same time we are struggling to maintain ourselves in the country that gave us birth against the opposition of the invaders. Thus our position is most extraordinary and complicated.
By saying "extraordinary and complicated" he is saying that his revolution was unique to all other causes...
3. he says that "an ignorant people is a blind instrument of its own destruction"... what he's saying here is that his people need to know about the laws in order to make sure they don't destroy the very foundation of their country... "Ambition and intrigue abuses the credibility and experience of men lacking (LACKING HERE MEANS UNEDUCATED) political, economic, and civic knowledge; they adopt pure illusion as reality (SUGGESTS THAT THEY ARE IGNORANT); they take license for liberty, treachery for patriotism, and vengeance for justice. If a people, perverted by their training, succeed in achieving their liberty, they will soon lose it (HE SAYS THEY WILL LOSE WHAT THEY FOUGHT SO HARD FOR IF THEY ACHIEVED SUCCESS DESPITE NOT KNOWING HOW OR WHY), for it would be of no avail to endeavor to explain to them (NO USE TALKING TO STUPID PEOPLE) that happiness consists in the practice of virtue; that the rule of law is more powerful than the rule of tyrants... (THE RULE OF EDUCATED LAW IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THAT OF UNEDUCATED MISFITS"
The answer may seem obvious, but I have never seen any blind guitar players. Have you?
The have been many famous blind musicians through out the years. The man who invented braille invented a form for music, so that blind musicians could learn theory and read notes. There are many blind guitar players. Jeff Healy who just died last week was blind. He was best known for his hit "Angel eyes" in the 1988. Also the blues legend Blind Lemon Jefferson is known as one of the pioneers in early blues music. I think the piano is easier to learn in general. Everything is in a straight line. The guitar has 6 strings and up to24 frets so there is an X and a Y axis. However once a person learns the basic guitar patterns of cords and scales, they can be played anywhere on the neck.

Our bank regulators were not, as they would like us to believe, outside the disco, deaf and blind to the revelry going on within. They were bouncing to the same beat. In 2006, the agencies jointly published something called the “Interagency Statement on Sound Practices Concerning Elevated Risk Complex Structured Finance Activities.” It became official policy the following year.
What are “complex structured finance” transactions? As defined by the regulators, these include deals that “lack economic or business purpose” and are “designed or used primarily for questionable accounting, regulatory or tax objectives, particularly when the transactions are executed at year end or at the end of a reporting period.”

Blind children can learn to play an instrument just as well and often better than, sighted children provided the desire and the interest is there. Blind children often have a strong sense of rhythm and musical sensation since their hearing is more in tune with the world.
Of course, the assumption should not be done just because they are blind, they should play a musical instrument. However, if a child or adult with a visual impairment decides that playing a musical instrument is something they would find beneficial, then by all means he should be given every consideration as you would for a sighted person.
There are instruments that are better adapted for the visually impaired than others. Most stringed instruments are a good musical instrument for the visually impaired, because the chains can be easily felt in order, especially for the violin, viola and cello.
