    I pick up a guitar nearly every day, but that's far, far beyond what I can do.

    Thanks for reminding me I suck though.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

    Check this out (not for any amazing guitar work or whatever but because I randomly found this and thought it sounded nice):

    Thanks for sharing! I pulled out my barely used guitar the other week to start back at learning the basic chords. I'm stuck at figuring how to tune it!

      I took classical guitar lessons as a teen, but realized at some point that I'm simply not very talented in music. I'm naturally better at just about everything else. At least I'm not tone-deaf, lol. I can tune a guitar and all that, and memorized the A note to figure out what other notes are relative to it. One thing I found was that songs can be learned in a largely mechanical way, reading the music, playing along with metronome. But the crux of who really can play is shown when someone has to improvise by ear without those "crutches". I can't.

      My son, 3, easily matches his singing to notes he hears which I didn't even learn to do until I was a teenager (lack of training). He also sings well, which I'll never be able to do. His mother was a professional singer (she wasn't formally trained either, so it is not really an excuse) and, like our son, also started singing on her own at at young age. If he has musical talent it isn't coming from me.

      Don't take my words as a downer. Research reveals that people can improve skills in music, drawing, and other things even at advanced ages. Anecdotally, you probably know someone who has done that. Not everybody has to be Mozart or Picasso.
