Are we players here? Listeners? Guitar aficionados? Builders? Something else?

I've been playing guitar for about 25 years, jazz guitar for probably 20 of those, doing a mix of gigging and just jamming (not teaching per se myself but I've enjoyed working with teachers to organize jam sessions to create a fun environment for students to learn in). Lately I've been getting into woodworking as a hobby and I've been working on building a guitar for myself, too.

What's your jazz guitar experience like?

That track sounds good!

I feel ya re: life changes. The great thing about music, in my experience, is the way it can connect you to a community that can help you navigate the sort of transitions in life you're talking about. I divorced an addict many years ago and really struggled to put my life back together after all of that, but I found a community in the local jazz scene that was supportive and healthy in a way I hadn't experienced in a long time. Being around those people in that moment and having a reason to keep improving myself probably saved my life.

I hope your musical journey is a happy and healthy one, friend.
