I love the idea of learning some purcussive, fingerstyle. I am drooling at the thought of learning to use my Schecter. I love that guitar but I have no idea how to play it and I am a little mad at not taking the time to get to know it. In retrospect, I wish I had gone with a single multi effect to start rather than all these pedals. The pedals are cool, but it seems like every time I play I have to figure out what has come unplugged.

And how could I stop.. I mean I do have 2500+ posts :D

Whoa, I am getting off track. Thanks for the comments all.

I think getting back to lessons & trying to find something to inspire you is a great idea.

I think what you're going through happens to alot of us from time to time. Music can be a real challenge sometimes.

You are a great songwritter, and a great musician. Keep at it man! 8)

If I might share a story. Golf got to be pretty intense for me. I'd be furious after a 76, kind of thing. I played in a company tourny, which we won, but along the way I hurt my back and got blitzed on top of pain-meds to be able to play. After a few days on my back, I decided that I was taking it way too seriously and it was not fun anymore, so I quit.

6 months later, it was Spring time and the itch was killing me. I went out without any of my old golfing buddies and started playing again. This time was different though. I got out there on a beautiful Spring day and just soaked it all in. The birds, green grass, the smells, etc. I really enjoyed the sensory experience more than I ever had and I ended up having a really fun day. That was it for me. I had to inject fun back into the game. My average score raised to about 88-92, but I was having a blast. Did that for years until Senior League Baseball when I became old enough. Had to retire from that though, so might start golfing again this coming Spring after I'm over an illness.

Bottom line is this. Things are not constant, and adjustments have to be made. You could be in a good band for a while and then they start bitching like old hens. Not fun anymore. Just gotta make an adjustment to make it worth your time. A hobby that is not fun is work. I have a feeling you probably already have a job.]]> Guitar Players Discussion rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/rinse-and-repeat/#post-271101 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/rinse-and-repeat/#post-271089 Wed, 14 Nov 2007 04:30:52 +0000
Most importantly, though .... have fun! :D]]> Guitar Players Discussion Elecktrablue https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/rinse-and-repeat/#post-271089 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/rinse-and-repeat/#post-271029 Tue, 13 Nov 2007 22:14:52 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion corbind https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/rinse-and-repeat/#post-271029 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/rinse-and-repeat/#post-270962 Tue, 13 Nov 2007 17:10:33 +0000 it doesn't seem that long ago when you were riding high after that Borders gig and livin' the dream. LOL yeah. But its easy to trip all over yourself once you become "full of yourself". Man, I felt like a real performer after Border and luckly the opportunity to play that and another gig is open anytime I feel ready. But I really dont.

Its okay though. I am just going to get back to playing and enjoying. Thats how the whole band/gig thing happened for me the last time.
