Gotta get to work...
... relearning the Playing Guitar thing. To start, I picked up the Guitar Aerobics lesson book, which basically runs you through 52 weeks' worth of playing exercises, one day at a time. It's the sort of discipline that I need to get my chops kinda back. Most of it is single-string work, and there are a lot of right-hand exercises; it actually feels like a Guitar Craft sort of thing. In any case, I hope to do the daily deed, and hopefully I'll get my hands in order.
Right now, my left hand feels like a crab claw, and my right hand feels like a jellybean.

I've been reading exercises from this book for 20 years now, it has the same written range as the clarinet. Nasty stuff, all those 4ths and 5ths on guitar.
