My name is Jason and I've been playing since 1989. I started playing because I wanted to play that heavy sound and solos from my favorite bands. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax where my early influences before I took my blinders off and that opened a new world to me.
I feel as though I should be 100 times better than I am as a guitarist. I feel I might have slight Amusia even though I've seem to do well when testing for it. I also have a hard time retaining the music I do learn. For example, I practiced and play a simple version of the Star Spangled Banner for years. I can't play that from memory. My timing is horrible, but I practice with a metronome. Spent many hours on phone "Music Apps" to help me improve my timing.
I'm here hoping something that I will learn will unjam the blockage.
