It has been interesting to see what has returned to me musically in the past week and what is more slowly developing.

One the whole, things associated with my head seem to be coming back much quicker than I thought they would while physical things appear to be returning at a much slower rate. For instance, coordination of my hands, speed of clean notes, sight reading, implicit and explicit memory of songs and progressions all are returning very fast. I've already started trying to play what would be considered somewhat challenging material. On the other-hand, finger strength and calluses are quite slow. Not having properly "prepared" fingers can make quite a few things either painful or impossible to play. I really like to bend notes, at least I used to. Many large but simple chords (typically requiring a finger bar) are difficult to play without accidently muting at least 1 or 2 strings.

It's also interesting that I'd had a large resurgence in listening to "good" music. It's something that I used to really enjoy, but in the past several years my ears had just packed up and left. It would seem that they've also returned and are happy with the change.
