Glad you are happy wherever you are, I often wonder why I don't try to move away from Washington, but then, all my family, most of my friends, and my career are all based here, ie, one giant fucking anchor weight. Too bad about the ex, but then, you aren't having any more of your time wasted by a scoundrel either, so cheers to that!
Hmmm, back to the guitar, I suck too (well, my skill is SEVERELY lopsided to the point I am expert in some areas, and near beginner in others). My suggestion, practice the shit out of your scales, and DON'T learn drop-D tuning or power chords for a very long time (and forget I even mentioned them in the first place )
