I have been playing professionally since 1975 and I have been feeling the march of age since I was 50 years old...poorer visual acuity, slower reflexes, weaker muscle ability. I have stopped playing the very difficult solo repertoire because of reduced endurance.
My solution was to take up another instrument in a different musical genre that relies much less on muscular capability, so I have been playing the Dobro for about 8 years and getting good enough to join a bluegrass band, in which you do not read music but play by ear.
