Good news! One thing that has finally struck me (thanks to the fine folks here at GT) is that playing the guitar is not really something with a definite end. It's a lifetime pursuit. I would suspect that to most of us, playing the guitar is the musical equivalent to crack or Lays potato chips.

Near impossible to quit. Once you got the bug, it never really goes away.

Good luck and keep after it. I know I will. :)
