My hand joints are getting better finally and I wanna learn an instrument. The thing is, I’m dumb and have struggled really badly with reading music in the past.

    You could have marked your slide, but also if you can’t hear when a note isn’t right you’re doing music on hard mode.

      The problem with hearing when a note isn’t right is that by the time you hear it you’ve already played it…

        If it’s a short note, it’s usually not that dramatic. If it’s a long note and you’re still playing it, then have no shame in adjusting as soon you hear that it’s off.

        Generally, though, don’t beat yourself up about it while learning. Just make a mental note that you eyeballed too low/high and try to do better next time.
