For motivation I'd recommend lessons with someone, or finding a band to join. Having another person involved may help keep the drive up. Fun lesson - I personally enjoy making a playlist of tunes I like (or want to learn), then playing along. Helps with endurance & improv

I suspect that's the truth about many things. We love a Hollywood narrative, but a lot of the time having some aptitude and then becoming obsessed is the way.

Well shit, dreams crushed lol In all seriousness, I appreciate the honest reply. I never intended to master any of my instruments, but always wanted to get over this "plateau" that I experience with all of them. It feels so good when you can finally play what you keep hearing in your head, even just a little bit. The closest I've gotten is with my guitar and ukulele, but similar to learning a new language, I lose fluency when I stop practicing And I know it just comes down to practice, I guess sometimes you need someone to spell it out again. So thanks friend, I'll keep playing
