[Chocaholic]

Played guitar for decades. I can play every chord known to man and every scale on the fret board. But can’t cobble together more than a couple barely recognizable tunes…and I sing like a rusted door hinge.

When YouTube became a thing I kept seeing video after video of 8 year old kids wailing away with a level of effortless finesse I only dreamed of. To this day, they pile on. Amazing musical talent on display from children to adults across the spectrum.

As such, I came to the conclusion that any monkey can learn chords, scales and finger picking but in the complete absence of talent there will be no music made. As such, I’ve lined it from my list of things I was going to do in retirement and absolved myself of the frustration. I quit.
