Well shit, dreams crushed lol
In all seriousness, I appreciate the honest reply. I never intended to master any of my instruments, but always wanted to get over this "plateau" that I experience with all of them. It feels so good when you can finally play what you keep hearing in your head, even just a little bit. The closest I've gotten is with my guitar and ukulele, but similar to learning a new language, I lose fluency when I stop practicing
And I know it just comes down to practice, I guess sometimes you need someone to spell it out again. So thanks friend, I'll keep playing
And keep chasing that feeling! It's worth it to push through the tedium and frustration to achieve it. And the plateaus are real and are many lol but dont let that be a punishment. One of the best things about instruments and music in general is you are never finished. You always get to keep working at it. What a lucky and happy task to be tasked with.
