Ha! Making a come back!

[TRose]

That’s wonderful, Barry!
I’m happy that you are seeing improvement.
I’ve had similar challenges and am finding that with continued work my short term memory is improving. Let’s keep at it.
Three cheers for neuroplasticity!
Best,
Tom

Thanks everyone! I'm going to keep at it!

Rebuild those neural pathways, dude!

(This is so nice to see.)

1st time I've been able to memorize something longer than a measure or two since my stroke in early 2017.

I'll keep at it, maybe it will snowball into the entire tune!

That is fantastic! Lovely piece. What guitar is that?

If you can not memorize "the entire tune", does that mean you are reading the music as you played that? Yikes. I am jealous.

Thanks! Yes I just read the music as I play. I usually practice a tune often before I record and post it on the internet so I become familiar with the positions. The guitar is my Pellerin SJ CW cedar top, rosewood back and sides

Go man, go!

That's great news, Barry. Coming back from a stroke is no easy experience. Good for you to working yourself back!
