I6 returns as a beginner, Riley B King unplugged!

[ImmortalSix]

I just got back to playing guitar after 5 years and needed a hill to climb. I stumbled across the song Riley B King by Robben Ford, and it had enough cool chords that I zeroed in on it as my first "exercise" after picking guitar back up.

Here's me playing it unplugged on my old Stratocaster in my living room just now. I'm big-time in the beginner's mind, ready to suck and embracing it.

Happy to be back here sharing some woodshed with my brothers.

Thanks guys, lots of work still left to do - "don't practice until you get it right - practice until you can't get it wrong"

I am one of those people that has to practice all the time. I wish I was able to keep my skill level up without that, as I'd have a lot more time.

New take after more practicing, now with audio straight from GarageBand (which was stumbling hard because I was using my old MacBook Air to record video and run GarageBand at the same time)

Progress!

Cool. I just started playing again after about a 4 year break.

Are you wearing a tablecloth?
