All these replies are good, but you have to get the fun out of it. I am playing on and off for 50 years and I still suck but I am having fun. Make sure your playing comes from the heart and yes you have to practice. I play every day now that I am retired and I have come a long way since I joined this site, just in a couple of months. What you put into it, you will get back double. You will find your groove! Wish you the best, Pete
