I started with piano, technically, but I was 3-4 years old, and don't remember any of it. I can sit a piano and make it sound good, but I can't play sheet music on it. I switched to violin in second grade, and then just learned how to play everything except for rhythm guitar, and piano. Chords mess with my fingers. Strangely enough my ADHD allowed me to super focus, but I never got the hang of sight reading, so I mostly play by ear, but no one can tell.

I can even play a didgeridoo, and that required me to learn circular breathing.

That's impressive!

My ADHD just makes me lose time. Blink and the day is just gone.
