Thanks all for the advice.  I'll keep kicking.

I've been playing again on and off for the past 2-3 years, and I get frustrated with the lack of progress.  I work steadily for a few months, then lose my motivation, and put it away for a few months, then repeat.  What do you use to motivate yourself to keep going.  I've tried formal lessons, books, and the internet.  The best progress I've made so far has been with an online course, but I'm still a lousy player.  Just want to get to the point where I can contribute to "pass the guitar around the campfire" setting.
Thanks in advance.

Worked almost 17 years at a moving and storage company, really got fed up with it the last few years.  Then I did as bunbun did and made a career change, now a firefighter/paramedic and absolutely love it.  This is my first post on this (or any) forum, but I have been lurking here for a couple years now.
