Like others, I started young, put playing aside for a while when marriage, kids, work and travel got in the way, picked it up again, and now I'm playing better than ever.
One thing I've said more than once: If the Internet had existed when I first started playing, I'd be a guitar god by now. These days, if I find myself in a rut (an all too often occurrence back in the day), I just go online and find something to spark my interest.
My knowledge of music theory and the fingerboard have increased dramatically. I still need to improve my precision, but I'm playing a lot more and varied music than I ever did.
