Speaking of practice - I sent you a PM

My story is a bit different than most as I started this journey late in life. With work and kids I didn't put the time in necessary to learn. Now that the kids are all gone and I'm semi-retired I can put some focus into this so hopefully I will only get better, and not worse. But yeah, arthritis is real.

Ask your doctor about ectolac . Arthritis med

Overall my playing has improved. Runs are cleaner, timing is more solid, I’m more comfortable playing a wider range of styles.

The rapid fire technical parts are tougher though. It takes longer to warm up & more daily reps with the metronome to keep those chops up. I can still pull off most of what I want to play, but there’s a few areas in that dept where I just can’t keep up with 25 year old me.
