Hi Harold –

This assumes all you have is the free basic clicktracks. The clicktracks work near miracles when using worst case future imagined events. Give this a try –

Note: It is important to do anger first, then frustration and impatience.

Imagine being very angry about this. Make it as bad and extreme as you can get. First angry at the situation. Then angry at yourself. Clicktrack to a 1 or 0

Imagine being as frustrated as you can be with the inability to learn and you feel like giving up. Make it as bad and extreme as you can get. Clicktrack to a 1 or 0

Imagine being as impatient as can be with inability to learn and you feel like giving up. Make it as bad and extreme as you can get. Clicktrack to a 1 or 0

Imagine being completely hopeless with learning to play. Make it as bad and extreme as you can get. Clicktrack to a 1 or 0

Imagine being ridiculed, embarrased and failing with learning to play. Make it as bad and extreme as you can get. Clicktrack to a 1 or 0

Imagine there is no way you can succeed with learning to play. Make it as bad and extreme as you can get. Clicktrack to a 1 or 0

Imagine your hands being as bad as they can be with people watching you and making fun of you. Make it as bad and extreme as you can get. Clicktrack to a 1 or 0

While you are doing any of these, if you see any flashes of memories from your past – events or people – write them down. Immediately clear those next.

Then see where you can land. We can then offer some PSTEC positive suggestions.
