Hi all,
I've just had a reality check sitting at my computer tonight
I'm approaching retirement and with the lockdown I've had lots of time on my hands for the first time in years so I thought I'd get back on it. I've only recently started recording myself. I played with other people in bands for a good while when I was younger, then unfortunately a series of issues got in the way and for the last 30 years I've only played on my own and with zero discipline.
It's been a revelation! My timing and my technique are unbelievably sloppy. I'm disappointed to say the least. I'm having to start all over again. I'm hoping it will get better, that I've just got flabby and it isn't old age taking it's toll.
Has anyone else found this? Any tips to improve? Please tell me there's hope
