I love to play guitar. I wish I really could.
I have the dexterity and the stamina, even a killer set of ears. What I can't seem to do is play in time or listen to other musicians well enough to follow them in time. Funny thing is that it's not really a time problem, because I can almost always tell you "what time it is" within a minute or two. It has to do with meter and listening. But it's wierd because if I'm not trying to play, I can sense if someone is out of meter by 1/100 of a beat or so. I have a sense of time, but I can't make the movements.
I used to try to play in a band when I was a kid, but I just bang on my guitars, now. Everybody else got really good and I just went so far and that was the best I could do. I became more obsessed with the PA gear, acoustics and sound reinforcement and made that my first career.
I can work up a decent set of chops using my Strat or Les Paul and my talent with sound gear makes it easy to reproduce most of the rock sounds that I want to play. Most people who hear me, think that a great guitarist is warming up, but warm up is all I can do. I've been warming up for over forty years, now so I should be about ready to play, except I just can't do it.
