If you're actually interested and this isn't all just leading up to yet another put-down (which, to be fair, I wouldn't blame you for as a) I'm always slagging your music and b) my "music" could strip the paint from walls and send strong men crying for their mommies), the main problem I found was - was - what was it? I can't remem - oh yeah. I have a terrible memory. I would learn songs, then forget them. Even now, put me at a keyboard and I could muddle my way through, but don't ask me to play anything recognisable. Melody, maybe. Chords, no. Also I never got the hang of the two-hands-doing-separate-things style, so could not really be called anything like a piano player.
