Sounds like you've got the passion for it. :) You should work through the Fundamentals 2 for a refresher & review. Then work through the Rock 1 & 2 courses.

Those will teach you the skills & ideas you will need to play songs & write your own! And since they are structured, guided courses they will help you stay focused.

After that just ask & we can point you in the right direction!
