Joined: February 2005 Posts: 11840 Location: closely held secret | I was just thinking the same thing, Toby. I have a good friend who, about 25 years ago, had the wall of a log home he was building collapse under him. The doctors told him he was so damaged he would be in a bed for the rest of his life. He chose not to believe that, and is walking and driving... oh, and still building log homes today. Good on ya, OLJ! Keep it up! | ||

I don't even know you, but I feel like celebrating! You have just made my day, and week, (and probably year). Thanks, and continued good luck (I know, it isn't luck, but hard work and determination). YEE-HA!!!! | ||

Joined: October 2005 Posts: 803 Location: Avondale, AZ | I am grateful for all your responses. They actually made me feel loved. I have strugled to get were I am today. Your cheers have helped me. I want to updating you on my progress. While I am getting more dexterious, I am having trouble retaining songs I learn from tabs. I can read them and put them to notes on the guitar but I don't seem to retain them. I can play the chords and improvise lead from sheet music. The songs that I used to play are coming back to me in bits and pieces. After what I'd been through, it seemed I would never play at all. I am just grateful that I reached the point where I can cordinate both my hand to play at all. Thanks again for your kind encouagement. | ||

Joined: October 2007 Posts: 2711 Location: Vernon CT | OLJ, I've never been through what you have and I have trouble retaining songs learned off tab. As I am 52, I beleive that allows me to claim "Old Age" and memory loss as a natural thing that happens. ;) What I would give to be able to Improvise songs. I know its what you are use to, but , you appear to be actually ahead of me. So enjoy (as you are) what you have and the rest will come back in time. | ||

Joined: December 2006 Posts: 6268 Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | OLJ, Being 62, I find that I do well with maybe a dozen songs (playing, not singing) in a stretch. But I'm having to 'cheat sheet' songs if they're not in the current rotation. It is kinda frustrating, but since I'm playing for my own enjoyment and not professionally, it's not a big deal to me. A little refresher and some practice seems to get me back into the song. You're doing great. Just keep at it! | ||
