I really should do something more structured, or maybe even take some lessons and try to learn to play 'properly'.
Maybe play em in the shop or person you are buying from for sure.
Any playing after that is just rude and risks degrading the guitar and its tone.
But seriously, I'd imagine many of those folk may be getting on in years now, but they've been playing in bands for many years. I can't imagine starting in a band, for the very first time, at my age, and maybe @inewham is in the same boat. Or maybe not.
In fact it got easier for me. To start the last band it took about 5 phone calls to friends. Bass player refused so rang up the keyboard player and told him he was the bassist. Luckily for me he's a multi instrumentalist
I've started listening to planet rock radio again to try and listen to new things to inspire me to actually learn new songs, rather than the same Spotify playlists
Meet up with mates and jam or rehearse songs we may never play live.
3 guitars always on stands, THR10 ii abd WAZA Air ready to go. Even the pedal board and interface are just needing a couple of minutes to fire up.
To call it "playing" would require a rather loose interpretation of the definition.
Re-reading my post, it sounds like i'm lamenting their intrusion on personal time, and it's not that at all. They certainly take priority, but i do wish at the same time I had a little more time to play!
Although the other night I was thoroughly enjoying my old JCM900 cranked into a reactive load, with a non-Custom Shop Les Paul from the early 00's which has never mysteriously snapped its neck off.
I now realise the folly of my ways and will never play again.
I inveribly find the second I get into the music room to do some proper practice/recording/song writing, I get interrupted by the wife because I've neglected her or some chores. So one out of 12.
