) or even sing and play using anything more than simple chords. Even piano, other than one finger stuff is outta the question, but the guitar is startin’ to click for me in its’ own strange way. Kinda exciting, actually. I wake up at 3:00 am to pee and sometimes pick up the guitar for about 45 seconds or so, so somethin’s going on, eh? 
Yeah, Rob, it’s kinda weird. With my ADHD, I’ll never play like I’d like to (Chet Atkins finger style
That sounds like me but Instead i am going to sleep @around that time ,i would pick up my guitar the 2 min mark would come then mysteriously i become concerned that i did not have enough sleep so i need to go to bed, Now this was in 2024 around the holiday season . Now since 2025, in April i would pick up my guitar the 2 min mark would come then mysteriously i become concerned that i did not have enough sleep so i need to go to bed, But this time i get backup & smoke a joint & have that idiot box on (tv) , then it would dawn on me that i was trying to escape with the joint & tv. But the laugh was on me, because within 15 min i picked-up guitarI wake up at 3:00 am to pee and sometimes pick up the guitar for about 45 seconds or so, so somethin’s going on, eh?
3-hours later i wipe my strings down get a little snack , then took another toke , then i picked-up my � & played 2 more hours.
. Now since then i play & or learn my guitar. now since the summer 2025 i told myself that in the fall of 2026 i would like to try playing to my ez-drummer . Look i am 56years of life: black male - that like (loves distorted guitar sound) this is what worked for me. Now these days: i have the opportunity too look back on my 72-seasons-of-life & counting. learning any musical instrument is psychological thing - i think you now that ? .
A.J.Fedor here. 81 years old. (‘bout 26 between my ears) Chromatic player since 1955 and guitar since 1961. Pretty good on harmonica and just lately started taking off on guitar. I probably suck compared to most of you guys, but I’m having a lotta fun. Guitars include Hohner EBAE, 1972 Guild Madeira, IYV Les Paul, Fesley SG, BCP bass, SX Strat, Leo Jaymez, Telly and I love every one of them. Good to be here!
I can’t help myself. Just got another one! Somebody STOP ME! Bwaaaaaahahahah! Think I’m gunna need another wall hanger. This Grote might actually be the best of the bunch. Like buttah! Got a buck and half from Amazon for opening an Amazon credit card, and another twenty bucks back for the thing being four days late, so this gorgeous puppy cost me just 79 bucks. I’ve played a real ES335 and this thing might be even better. No kidding!A.J.Fedor here. 81 years old. (‘bout 26 between my ears) Chromatic player since 1955 and guitar since 1961.

He’s prolly the main reason I switched to “9 x 42’s” on everything except that bass. (and even those are light gauge flat-wounds) Hey, when I can’t do this anymore, I still have the Chromatic harmonica, which has been my main axe since I was 10 years old. https://www.slidemeister.com/ajfedor.html
