Starting to play again and looking for advice or a track to follow. (lemmy.world)

Hi! I have been playing guitars on and off (mostly off) for over 20 years. Technically I feel competent and can physically play anything I would want to play. My issue is I don’t feel I really know much about the guitar and don’t really progress. I don’t have much of a repertoire and just know a handful of licks and half songs. I want to dedicate some time the next 6 months to learning but not sure where to start. If it helps I’m mostly interested in blues/jazzy stuff. Any advice?

I was looking for more of a structure or a course I could follow but I really like this advice!! I’m gonna start with bb king the thrill is gone. Looking through videos a lesson to play it came up and I think it’s perfect! Easy rhythm but good lesson on chord progression. Then learning the licks and that scale then being able to build on it. I guess a dream would be loop a chord progression and then just jam around on the fretboard. Thanks. I appreciate it.
