When I was still in high school I would walk around the house all day with my guitar on. I would turn the radio on and try to figure out every song that came on before it ended and play a solo over it. I didn't learn to read until later, and it was a bit of pain, but I did it. The funny thing about playing along with the radio was that I found out the none of the songs were in tune with each other. I had to re-tune to almost every new song that came on. It was totally addictive, but the good kind of addiction. I went on to play full time for a living for a number if years. I don't play so much anymore, but I still have a couple of instruments around. I sent mom's old piano to my sisters house. Her kids are just getting into elementary school, so I wanted them to have it. It's great for your mental health and it does make you smarter too! Keep at it!
