I played classical guitar (novice) as a teen but stopped when I went to college (too busy). Twenty five years later I picked my guitar up, dusted it off, got new strings and opened one of my old books and somehow my brain was able to guide my fingers! I swear, it was crazy strange, like automatic. I can’t play the challenging stuff that I was working on when I stopped, but all the “easy classical books” are doable and very enjoyable.
