I can identify very strongly with both Scrump and Terry. I have never been able to read,or even understand the terminology of, music, but I can hear a tune just once, and then make a decent go of accompanying it on guitar, and then eventually playing the tune itself. Also, I never have any trouble with key changes in "session" situations-I somehow seem to know instinctively what key the others are shifting to---don"t ask me how !! Of course, I DO get caught out sometimes--everyone does ! But then I just stop playing until I hear a natural point at which to join back in again. This is actually very effective if several of you do it,especially in an Irish session !! So even if you"ve made a mistake,you learn to make it look as if you did it deliberately !! So if you can get into the habit of "holding back" after a key change sometimes, you"ll see what I mean !! I have never had any difficulty in learning almost any tune( it gets stuck in my head for days on end,night & day,until I can either accompany it,or play it,or both, and then it goes away !! Then it"s filed away !) but my BIG problem is remembering how a tune goes by the title !! People say " Do you know Thingybob?" ,& I say,"Yes,but I can"t remember how it goes/starts !".Then someone else starts it off,and it INSTANTLY floods back into the brainbox !! Does anyone else have that problem?? Scrump?? Terry ??
