Hey the right answer is above, keep doing it if you enjoy it. But I will say that in terms of improving your playing and singing abilities, there is nothing nearly as important as learning to listen. It takes time. Try listening very carefully to musicians that you like, find out what makes their stuff good, and at least some of it will come to you, I guarantee it. Must be patient though. What's really a pleasure is when you get to be older than young and realizing that the music you're making is the best you've ever made.

Don't give up, Chet
