At that level of experience, the average Riddle guy will be better the average high school graduate. Most Riddle guys coming out fresh have strong instrument skills. Once you hit 5000 hrs, everybody is about the same.
I am still not happy there was any sort of reduction in the required hours, it should have been 1500 across the board.
