Malcolm Gladwell talks about the Beatles in his book 'Outliers' and their time in Hamburg when they got a huge amount of practice in. Gladwell is into the 10,000 hours practice to become a professional. Fascinating book. They went to Hamburg as mediocre musicians who were not initially accepted for the gig and came back the greatest rock and roll band in the world according to them and the Author. Gladwell's books are very worthwhile. No idea if it's true of course but it's a great read and inspiring.

Gladwell explains that reaching the 10,000-Hour Rule, which he considers the key to success in any field, is simply a matter of practicing a specific task that can be accomplished with 20 hours of work a week for 10 years.
