Hey Zman! Glad to hear that most of your dexterity has returned! I've been enjoying playing and actually made some progress but I ran into a problem: pain in my left elbow. From some research it is not unheard of for guitar players. I've got some stretches and have been cutting back a little bit. Oddly enough, it never hurts when I'm playing. It's always after the fact. I did something to it a couple of years ago when I was helping move my son out of the dorm. Rest took care of that but I don't want to quit completely.

Update: Figured out what the problem was. In the solo I am learning there is a fast legato line running from the seventh fret to the nut. I practiced it A LOT to get it clean at speed. It is obvious that that was taxing those muscles/tendons too much. I'll lay off that part of the lick for a while. For the first time in a long time I really want to play!
