trying to play along with songs is one example; i want to be able to play stuff by ear and i've never let myself even try to practice until pretty recently

Main instruction is: spend 100s of hrs "jamming with experts" which is Victor Wooten's description of how to learn a language natively. That's how babies learn their native language.
For music, that means, put on songs and play along. A lot. (And no wrong notes.)

I think I *might* be overcorrecting my previous fear of trying new things. I'm now genuinely excited to be bad at things
