I disagree, it takes more than dedication and ambition to be good. Her skill level on the piano pushing a chord. It's not that difficult. I think she's tried both guitar and piano and knows she's just not cut out for it. (This was way back in the early to mid 70's.)

Her singing at the piano in the recent RS posts sound horrible to me as well.
I love her singing with an ensemble.

I look at someone like Joni Mitchell who wasn't trained in notes, chords or tunings.. She just picks up a guitar and naturally knows what she wants out of it. Not a lifetime of dedication or practice. Much like Lindsey, she's a natural. Stevie isn't.
