i was in a band from 16-18, but im a failing musician, i tried the drums (just the basic Heavy Rock 4/4 as in zz tops gimme all your loving, which we practiced to at school, and the base drum or snare on the off counts) and the base, became ok-ish on the base, ironically, years after i was in a band, im a great air drummer and air guitarist of all kinds though

, then i chopped the tip of my left hand forefinger in a gardening accident, whcih does not make playing my favourite instrument, the acoustic guitar any easier, before that accident i was getting quick and nimble with my left hand chord changes etc, but my strumming was woefull, now im returning to try ayd pcik it up again after a gap of many years, and strangely my strumming is way better than it was, but those things that needs lots of practice, like speed of accuracy of left hand for chords and finger picking etc. also right hand need practice for that obs too, but i used to be ok at quickly finding the righht place for my left hand fingers and getting a nice clean sound ringing out, so hoping it somes back fairly quick, ive rememebered a few chord progerssions i can do pretty well, but i really struggle with some of simplest of things now like changing from g major to d major or osmthing, so embarrasing, its like my fingers have forgotten how to obey my brain for that chord change, but i will persevere unless frustartion gets the better of me. With so msuch on you tubenow theers the chance to learnr lie never before.
Im also a fiend for the music of my teens and 20s, and my 'second youth' from 38-42 y/o or something, which happened when pre-ban mephedrone was easily available and gave me a whole new appetite for music. I need to try and fill in some of the several year gaps in my musical knowledege

ive ben smoking quite a lot of hash, taking lots of stims and g recently too, which is almsot as good as meph for music listening imo, and has accounted for the marathon long sesions and mega posts, and also discovering and likeing new stuff fmor my ears, its a while since ive been that adventurous.


Obviously the gereat thing about hash is that it can not only make music sound way better than normal, but it can also help quit the nastier habits like g and stims, which are/were getting a bit problematic. But my thinking has been moving like a glacier over the last 6 months, i think its finally shifted to a stage that im finally ready to try quitting stims and g too.
tldr; sorry, im a shit musician, i do love music, but lts of substance beingeing over recent months has accounted for practically all of the marathon long 12 - 24 listening seesions and mega posts.
