Hey AT.
Music is a joy. Don't get discouraged.
Sometimes I get so frustrated with my playing, but it is not a contest or a race.
I didn't realize that dyslexia would apply to guitar playing, except I suppose for reading. I'm sure that reading tab or notation must be difficult. I agree that Kirk's
Plane Talk is a great method for helping to improvise more freely. Its been a great help to me.
As far as memory, thats a funny thing. At 53 I am getting more absent-minded. I think the 'computer hard-drive' is full. I can easily remember all 10 verses to an obscure Bob Dylan song I learned 35 years ago, but if I learn a new song I can't remember any lines unless the music is right in front of me.
I suffer from CRS
Can't remember Sh*t.
Anyway, AT, nice to meetcha.
