I am 72 years old and have been playing guitar since I was 10 years old. I played in garage bands during the 60's & 70's. We used to figure out songs and arrangements by ear or slowing the record down on a turntable. We never bothered to write down the tab or cords because we were kids and we practiced it all the time. Now I find I can only recall little segments of songs we played. So for this challenge I am trying to get my skills back & my mojo back. So I am working on songs we played or things that have caught my attention recently. My wife says I never play complete songs and play the same thing over and over again. Any one who watched Get Back with the Beatles as I tried to show her would realize that's how everybody did it back in the day!
