I have been doing some things that have brought me back to this place. It had been so long... It's a great feeling. A little embarrassed? Hell I would have never admitted to that!! Not here!! : ) But since you were so honest, I will let you know your not alone!! But I would have never said it first!! jk About 25yrs ago I seriously thought of giving up the guitar and selling all my stuff and buying a Ultra-Lite glider airplane. Went about a year without playing. Then I started back, started writing songs, re-leaning a lot of stuff I forgot. Fast forward to today... I still don't practice as much as I did back in the day. But I am back to practicing. Getting more fluid and getting my finger/hand strength back up. Enough to be able to play the songs I come up with. Glad to hear it's not just me. I never thought of giving up, but it seems to just happen - maybe in part because the music I write rarely features any guitar, and I don't really write on that instrument either. But I like playing, and it keeps my hands and fingers in shape. And I really like to work on improving the little things that I didn't pay as much attention to as I should have when I was younger, like my vibrato and such. Almost as if playing guitar and making music were two very distinct activities. But I enjoy both very much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My video was shot using my Android phone . I did have my computer on for the one audio track I recorded of my playing in real time plus editing the video . Thanks for the listen ,🙂 On 11/20/2023 at 7:02 AM, craigb said: Milo handles that part. 😁 😁 Milo is super food motivated . He would walk across a tightrope at a sold out circus with out a safety net if he thought there was a treat at the other end of the tight rope . On 11/20/2023 at 7:26 AM, Grem said: Yep!!

Uncle Kenny wants you ! 🫵 To play your guitars and make music 😁 Anyway the truth be told .....I can identify with the both of you gentlemen ..... I honestly don't have any real answers for myself or anyone else for that matter , But hey ! I still think whether I amount to anything or not " in the guitar world " I have always felt that playing the guitar is a gift from above . thanks all, Kenny Edited November 22, 2023 by kennywtelejazz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most definitely agree. It is a blessing. There is nothing I have ever done in my life that has given me such personal pleasure, nor greater satisfaction, than playing the guitar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennywtelejazz Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 I have been sticking to my plan of practicing my guitar first away from my computer ... I learned this song years ago and I forgot how to play it 😆 I started working on this a few days ago ....This performance is Ruff but hey .... at least I'm trying my best to get back in the game Happy Thanksgiving all , Kenny 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
