Biggest problem is theory. It's not that I can't learn or get it when I do. It's wanting to learn it. I'm learning it retroactively. I've played on and off for 25 years and the late 80's to early 90's being very serious. I was a fairly speedy and clean player and know scale shapes and had an ear for it.

I could play it but didn't actually understand what it was that I was actually doing.

So my issue is going back and learning what's behind what I already innately know but don't have the actual theory behind it. I know not having theory is an inhibitor but had gotten along quite well without it.

I'm doing it because I should do it but it's pretty much me whining because I have to do homework ;)
