I started playing as a teen and people (family/friends) always seemed to enjoy it. Then I played a few open mics, talent shows, house parties etc. Then I got married and kind of dropped it for about 15 years.

I started back playing at church with the praise band, then some solo open mics, then some weddings, then to steady solo acoustic gigs for the past two summers.

Probably the biggest obstacles are having enough material and getting over the nerves. Just learn a bunch of songs you like and hopefully the audience will like them, too.
