I picked up my #bassGuitar in February 2025 after mostly ignoring it for 30 years, and have been playing and practicing on an almost daily basis.
I'm getting pretty good, y'all. I play about 100 songs from memory with high levels of confidence, pick up new songs fast by ear, and can read (slowly) music notation for tricky bits.
Some days my mind goes dark and tells me I should give up, but that's bullshit. #Music has been my best therapy through some tough times.
