hey Marty i was wondering if maybe you had any advice for a young guitar player whose going to boot camp in 7 months or how to deal with the fact that i wont be able to play for about 3 months? if so i would appreciate it thanks.

3 months is not really that long. Try to think music as much as you can, and if you can find a way to write any musical ideas down (any kind of musical notation that you can decipher when you pick up your guitar later) that`s great. Make many mental notes of what you want to play when you get back to playing. Best of luck!
