The music shop scene
The scene where Guy teaches her his song on guitar and she slowly starts catching on and finding her own part captures perfectly what I have experienced many times. I am a pianist -- classically trained by not good enough to become a professional. I have had to learn to play by ear over time -- but I can't write my own songs. I have had a few singer/songwriter guitarist friends who played their original songs for me while I played along and found a supporting accompaniment -- and a harmony. It always feels just like this scene -- my hesitant attempts at first with quick glimpses at the chords, listening and growing in confidence, and then finding a strong part and playing along -- hopefully making the song even better. They did this perfectly in the movie! I've never seen another movie come close to showing this creative process.
