As a musician, can I just say: I would give my right nut for a musical notation system that is as clearly defined as mathematical notation. The worst part is that everyone that attempts to fix musical notation, just creates a new standard of notation.

I know what video you linked even without clicking lol. Yeah, I can agree there. Although my only experience with music was "try to learn guitar, get distracted because ADHD".

The rocksmith game might help you.

Even guitarhero/rockband will help you with using your fingers and will help when you want to try a real guitar. Muscle memory might not be great but for someone who is just doing it for fun it will be helpful getting your fretting and strumming coordination. And them being games might help fend off the adhd enough to keep you motivated to pick it up again after putting it down

I appreciate the sentiment, but I really don't have time for another hobby.

I did accidentally become a DM for not one but two DnD groups recently.

I started with piano, technically, but I was 3-4 years old, and don't remember any of it. I can sit a piano and make it sound good, but I can't play sheet music on it. I switched to violin in second grade, and then just learned how to play everything except for rhythm guitar, and piano. Chords mess with my fingers. Strangely enough my ADHD allowed me to super focus, but I never got the hang of sight reading, so I mostly play by ear, but no one can tell.

I can even play a didgeridoo, and that required me to learn circular breathing.

That's impressive!

My ADHD just makes me lose time. Blink and the day is just gone.
