    Music again... I was a pretty accomplished piano and saxophone player, jazz mostly but I love classical as well. Even did some gigs with friends here and there. But I haven't had a piano in my house for several years now and it's not exactly like riding a bike. And playing the sax in an appartment doesn't go over well with neighbors. Your ability to read music and your dexterity slow down considerably when you step back from music, and with the sax my embrasure isn't strong like it used to be.

    I'm sure I could get it all back , which is nice to know But I just wish it's a skill I hadn't let slip

    That's not a skill per-say... it's really just this:

    I'm trying to learn how to play the guitar, just the basics right now


    I am fixed

    "Somedays I wake up and feel like nobody loves me. Other days I wake up and feel like I love nobody. Sometimes I wake up and feel tired, and worn out. Sometimes I wake up and feel like I cannot face the day. But someday I'll wake up and realize that waking up is pretty stupid because it just makes you feel like crap."

    Can you read music or are you doing tabs/by ear?

    For the record I fuggin' hate tabs... it's rare you find one online that isn't riddled with mistakes.

    Find Steve Vai's 10 hour workout and buy a metronome. And whatever you do, no matter how frustrated you get, don't quit.

    Similar for me but with drums and guitar

    I keep saying I'll pick the guitar up again but haven't yet...... As for the drums, I haven't touched those in 15 years

    but would this not be classed as a gift rather than a skill or something you learnt
