Well, I learned to play a little piano and churchorgan in a couple of years but quit due to family reasons. That is about 25+ years ago. I still play a little piano now and then, but as I work fulltime I have chosen to focus on guitar. What I did then, and that I have a lot of benefit from when learning jazz guitar now was learning musical theory. Unfortunately I have a mind that learns much faster than my hands and fingers, so I fullfilled a course in classical music theory so I have no problem with identifying chords and scales, and I know what tones the b5, #5, b9, #9, 11, 13 and so on are. But my ability to play what I know could be a lot better...but I'm working on it.
