I learned Guitar in High school and was able to tune out everything else while playing. This enabled me to perfect a song that none of the other students who had been playing and were always better than me was able to play. I never have been able to play chords. No matter how hard i tried and i tried for a whole year i never could get my fingers to move the way i wanted them to. single notes on the other hand well… i excell at that. Songs and singing well unelss i have something to follow i always mess up or miss whole sections or repeat what i allready sung. That and i can’t tune a guitar without my handy tuner to save my life. My brother got soo annoyed with me in guitar class because he had to tune my guitar for me or else everyone including him would end up hearing the untuned guitar that never bothered me….
Basicly everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and I admire you for your dedication. If you keep it up distractions or not you wil succeed. ADD is something i’ve been diagnosed with for over 20 years. It wasn’t well understood but I know if you pay attention to the strengths it gives you and find those little tricks that help with the weaknesses you can live a really successful life.
Good luck
