That's because even when we've been playing for years, we do the same thing!

I usually play at home and it's tough to learn timing and tempo playing by yourself. I started playing when I hit 50, so while my coordinaton and skills are nowhere near the level of the people I jammed with, they do not seem to be too perturbed by my errant chords, missed changes, forgetting where I am in the song.
Also found my 360/12C63 thanks to another forum member.
I think you play great Steve! You fit right in at our jams and often are showing me how to play songs, specifically Beatles songs.
I've had some great guitar success stories too. I got my 1965 365 OS from Collin, my 1997 re-issue from Bob Belloff, Lightshow conversion from Paul W, and a bunch of hard to find parts from Tracy Sands.
Not to mention all the cool people and fellow guitar enthusiasts I've gotten to meet and hang out with.
I love this place

I never let the fact I have no idea what song I'm playing stop me.
