Hello! I am a 18 year old college studying English at UC Berkeley, and I am considering changing my major to Music, and putting in serious time into learning the guitar, bass, and refining my singing (I am an absolute beginner in guitar and bass). I love music, it is literally my only passion in life and I spend hours listening to an analyzing compositions and chord progressions.
However, I was born with a mild fine motor skill deficiency, and so I'm worried that I won't be able to become really good at instruments that require lots of fine motor dexterity, like the ones i mentioned, also the piano (which I haven't learned at all).
I can play a few songs on the guitar so far, but I'm just worried that I won't be able to master barre chords or become good enough to gig, studio work, etc with my condition. This is a stupid question, but do you think, because of my deficiency, I simply won't be able to get really good with those instruments, and should just give them up and stick to singing? Or do you think, with a lot of practice, I can still get really good? Is there a ceiling because of my condition? Please be honest with me. Sorry for asking such a stupid question.
