I am still getting it all figured out, and how to do it well. Also, working on getting the rust off on my playing. But will check back in on this as I keep going! it is nice to be really playing, with a goal of playing with others again.
What is less nice is realizing that in some respects, my playing is not as good as 10 years ago, as I have had a few years of doing really not much more than open chords around a campfire or such, now and then. But at least I still have an idea on what to do, and how to get back to it.
Gonna look into hand stretching too. My Hendrix style E shape barre chord needs work. I am not getting the notes fretted and muted cleanly as intended.
