I recently started playing again after a ten year hiatus, so I'm just trying not to suck. Actually, I've been practicing almost everyday now for about 6 months just relearning a bunch of old songs I use to play and learning new ones via internet tabs, some instructional DVDs and just playing be ear. The main thing is I'm having a lot of fun doing it. I think I'm about ready to play in my old 80's garage band again.
