So, in celebration I have retrieved my guitar from behind my desk where I locked it out of reach about a year ago and I started playing again!! However, it's quite evident that a year without playing has virtually sent me back to where I started. Everything feels awkward and bending strings started to become excrutiating after an hour or so on the bluesy side of playing; my fingers are shredded to bits and blistered, and my fingernails have torn away from their nail beds slightly. Nevertheless, I'm thoroughly happy to be in pain from playing again after such a long "break". I'm miles off from where I was in terms of ability, so don't expect any good RECs from me until I remember how to hold a plectrum again You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It's reassuring to be told that my lack of guitar playing ability is but a temporary set back. What I need now is a guitar holiday; to be able to just say goodbye for a short while and lock myself away in a room, just me and my axe.. spending some quality time getting to know each other again.

Don't worry much about current skills, you can't forget how to play guitar so you'll be there in no time. I just hope my fingers will last - I seem to be trying to make up for lost time. Going to have to change the strings I think - they're rusty as it is, now they're bloodstained too ..dunno, perhaps they're more "metal" that way.. BTW - does anyone have a suggestion as to what I should do to "ease" myself back into stringdom? What does one do after such a long break. MTP anyone?
