I played when I could. If I was ever at a 'permanent' duty station, I'd play in local bands to keep my chops up and to get the chance to perform.

Eventually, I'd make it through college and start my own business. I'd no longer need the money, but I'd still keep playing. I played in many, many bands over the years. During the entire time, when able able and willing, I'd also do studio work with the (usual) caveat being that I got paid by the block of time. I do not regret that choice.

Nice. It's good to hear your back story. We can tell by your skills your love of the craft and dedication to the instrument.

It's all good.

For as much as I've been able, I've put in two hours of diligent practice per day.

I don't just 'want' to do stuff. I don't want to 'just' be able to play guitar. To this day, I don't want to just play guitar. I want to be the best guitar player I can be. I want to equate myself with the masters.

Very admirable, much respect.
