To heck with my broken hands. I am going to follow my dreams. I'm gonna buy a guitar this weekend and then I'm going to learn how to play it.

The last time I tried, I was 14 and playing an acoustic with super tall frets and old strings. That guitar made me feel the tendonitis and carpel tunnel pains I now live with every day.

This time, I'll try a nice short fret electric, and I'll string it with super light strings.

I think I can do this. ♥️
Wish me luck!

@mawr I've been really tempted to "take piano lessons" – as in, find something lesson-like online and put serious regular effort in.

I wonder if I can rig an NES emulator to pass MIDI messages through to the Miracle Piano Teaching System or whatever it was called. Apparently it's actually a really good way to learn! 🎹
