I agree with Patrick, find a local club. Most are welcoming to anyone, regardless of their skill level. Your playing will improve much more dramatically if you play with a group on a regular basis. Our group performs occasionally but it is not s regular part of what we do. But it certainly is a lot of fun. Just remember even if your can only play a few chords and strum, you can still participate with most groups....and you can always fake the parts you can;t yet handle! LOL
