Picked it up midway through last year when I joined a band for the first time ever, and so properly (not just learning stuff purely for grades), I've been playing for about 1 year and 5 months. I already had quite a lot of the skills needed like, stored in my head from when I first played, but 5 years is a long time and I've progressed a lot since I restarted last year
