> Yesterday my left hand was jumping around to different chords without even noticing and I had that moment of, "oh wow it's happening!"

I had this experience when picking up the VR rhythm game Beat Saber. It felt a lot like learning an instrument. If you're not familiar, Beat Saber is a game where you hold two lightsaber-type swords and slice blocks in specific directions as they fly toward you to the rhythm of a song.

At some point my hands just started moving into the right positions without me even consciously registering every block coming toward me. I have a distinct memory of seeing a block right as it was about to pass me by and thinking that I wouldn't have time to cut it before I realized that I was already doing so. Nowadays the limiting factor is overcoming the physical inertia of my arms in order to move them quickly enough.
