RE: Remembering a Composition

My fingers know, in other words, where to go, but they tend to forget how to get there!

From all these comments I can make a new post. An improved one!

You have said this very well! We do hear what we should play, our fingers maybe still remember where to go, but the connection between where and how is the tricky part! I agree with your opinion.
Your children need you more than your guitar, that is also true. Enjoy your family and young children as much as you can, once they grow up they will not want to spend with you so much time anymore...

I hear this from so many parents! It makes me so sad!!! I see it in my mind’s eye, every time I close my eyes and give them big squeezy hugs or sit on the floor to play with them…so, while it’s sad, I suppose it’s like a companion knowledge that should be seen as a blessing, like how don Juan speaks of death.

I guess what I mean to say is that, knowing this is saddening to a degree, but really does have the power to help generate strong feelings of genuine gratitude for the moments that are unfolding in the present. Which, now that I re-read what I’ve said, is also pretty much exactly what I think you’re saying! 🤣

Yes, you hear that as it is true in most cases... and how nice summary hehe, yes, in the end, it is what I tried to say :D
