We have made it through the majority of winter and spring is coming quickly. Here are a few things to think about:

If your guitar feels like it's playing just a little weird, it's probably time for a neck adjustment. This can be done while you wait and makes a big difference in playability

It's not going to be so dry. Be sure to wipe down your strings every time you get done playing so they don't rust prematurely.

Campfire time is coming up, be sure to have an appropriate guitar that you won't have to worry about it getting smoky.

Garage bands are cool! Find some other musicians to play with and make some music. And learn how to play bass--there has always been a bass player shortage. A good bass player is always a potential MVP of the band. If your band is good enough, there are plenty of opportunities to play out during the summer (live music makes pretty much any gathering of people more fun)

If you need to step up your game in the gear department, come in and look around. You'll probably find a good deal on something you always needed.
