Picking up the guitar again
-
I haven't really played for many years and have forgotten most of my chords. Within about 20 minutes I was strumming a pretty decent 12 bar blues. At 70 forming new neural pathways is as important as going to the gym.
My brother gave me one of his older guitars, a Goya that I always liked. Sadly, he cannot play anymore, lost all the strength in his left hand.

Nice - I've been playing again for the last year too. I manage to play a bit most days, and I'm really enjoying it. I bought a US-made Fender Strat last year which helped with the motivation and gave me a lot less back issues than the other much heavier electric I own. The guitar's a lot less physically demanding than the sax after a day at work.
