Thread Name: Instrument Frustration
Subject: RE: Instrument Frustration
s&r, I have been clinically Dyspraxic since birth.
One of the worst things about this for me personally is the frustration I have always felt about lacking the necessary motor skills necessary to become a good musician.
In recent times I have been addressing this by trying to learn to play to my own satifaction.
I started with the Harmonica which I soon managed to my own satisfaction.
Then the Tin Whistle. So far so good.
Very recently I have started with the Ukulele & (so far)that's OK as well.
On Friday I bought a guitar.
This is the big one because my failure to play this instrument to a level of competence that would satisfy anybody was what led me to conclude , in my early teens, that I would never be a musician.
It's very early days but I am determined to stick with it.
I just wanted you to know that I found your posting on this thread INSPIRING.
So thank you for that.
