always interesting how they can ask you questions that take you down a pathway you weren't expecting.

thank you
yes, and she's very good at it. She doesn't give me answers, she guides me to my own.always interesting how they can ask you questions that take you down a pathway you weren't expecting.
I paid ¿how much? to answer my own questions?

Shoot, if I could play as easily as I read, I'd be on easy street. One of the few things I do very well.Ok, something to think about:
As much as you love reading, you never have to practice reading lol, right? I think your "lost" feeling might partly be a subconscious desire to feel the same ease when playing music as you enjoy when reading.
But your conscious mind knows the difference -- the obvious singular vs plural nature of both, and the way each activity rewards you emotionally.
Maybe a thing to try would be going back to playing something by yourself ---just like reading--- that is musically on par with a YA novel... something you don't have to practice, something you can play for pure joy!
As much as you enjoy playing with the band, you really should enjoy playing by yourself too (not just practicing). I play guitar 99% of the time, but when I pretend to play bass even just jamming on something like that riff in the Doors "Don't You Love Her Madly" makes me smile.
No matter my scatter-shooting, I'm genuinely hoping your lost feeling turns to easy-peasy soon!
