I like playing it. Playing being the operative word, as it would be tough to classify it as that right now. But I am going to try and practise at least once everyday, or whatever my fingers will allow.

It gets easier. I stopped playing for a while and recently got a new guitar (I think that thread was 3 months ago). I've still forgotten 90% of the songs I knew, but changing chords came back a LOT faster.
When I first started, I probably played Dust in the Wind for a month before I was able to get a couple of the changes sounding smooth. This time it only took a few hours. A lot of it is muscle memory, once you get yourself programmed it gets much easier. I still suck, but just playing the chords I do recall I hear bits and pieces of popular songs.
It is time to replace a bunch of the tabs I lost, so I can rebuild my repetoire.
