Inspiration is easy when you are in the midst of an emotional event. It is challenging when you're not. Sometimes I just try to think back to a particularly emotional time and let my memories resurrect the associated emotions. I then talk about how I feel im my mind while I'm playing. Sometimes it can lead to some very powerful stuff (to me anyway - my wife laughs when I tell her how lucky she is to be able to hear me play for free).]]> Guitar Players Discussion MrJonesey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/some-philosophical-questions/paged/2/#post-184499 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/some-philosophical-questions/paged/2/#post-184495 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 18:30:02 +0000 I write, play or paint things that matter to me. People sometimes tell me that I think in weird ways, too. I just attribute it to being an artist, and you're obviously an artist as well. I think it's our abstract thinking that allows us to be creative in the first place.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Elecktrablue https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/some-philosophical-questions/paged/2/#post-184495 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/some-philosophical-questions/paged/2/#post-184450 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 08:34:22 +0000
The first song I ever wrote though: I was soooooooo mad at someone because they didn't want me associating with this guy and I just needed to vent before I exploded so I wrote a song. Probably scared a few people on here but it was fun.

I can never forget about the world when creating I write, play or paint things that matter to me.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/some-philosophical-questions/paged/2/#post-184450 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/some-philosophical-questions/paged/2/#post-184446 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 08:05:28 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/some-philosophical-questions/paged/2/#post-184446 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/some-philosophical-questions/#post-184388 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 03:37:59 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Misanthrope https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/some-philosophical-questions/#post-184388 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/some-philosophical-questions/#post-184371 Tue, 20 Jun 2006 02:35:31 +0000

I don't think I am especially creative. I have had a few brief periods in my life where I write a bunch of songs. I think they're pretty good. But then I go years with nothing. Then I'll have another very brief period where I write a bunch more songs. For me, it seems that hardship or heartbreak seems to inspire me to write. I am generally a very happy, positive, and upbeat person, so it's hard for me to write in this state of mind. How can you sing the Blues when you're happy? :D

So, I guess it's kind of good, because the creative moments come at a heavy cost.

I never loathe or hate people, but they do annoy the hell out of me. I am not very tolerate of others. I know this is wrong, but it's hard to change. People who block the entire aisle at a supermarket, or sit at a green light putting on makeup, these types of things irritate me. I remember getting behind someone at a fast food take-out that must have been ordering enough food to feed a pro football team. :evil:

But I try to remind myself that we are all people. We are all about the same. I make mistakes too, so I try to remember this.

Still hate those lottery players who take 10 minutes picking different games when you are trying to get to work on time. :roll:

I get a lot of peace at work. I work at a place that really gives you a heavy work load. Most people might hate this, but I like it. Just tell me what needs to get done and leave me alone. So I enjoy working hard. I don't need supervision or someone telling me how to get the job done. I enjoy working by myself. Working hard relieves lots of stress. It is super easy to sleep at night when you are genuinely tired. Turn out the lights and listen to the quiet. ZZZZZZZ.....

I do like nature and scenery too. I live in a beautful area. I like to go up on mountain tops and look off far in the distance. Beautiful and relaxing. I also love astronomy, sometimes I'll drive way out in the country with my telescope and look at all the stars. Breathtaking.

When playing guitar I just like to let go. I get into the music, it can be mesmerizing, almost hypnotic. I lose my inhibitions and move around a lot. When soloing I just listen to the sounds, sometimes it's hard to believe I am the one actually making these sounds. Man, that is good stuff. I like to crank my amp when possible, to where the amp is going wild. That is really when I play my best. If I try to think about my playing I don't play as well. So I have learned to just let go and not worry about it. Sometimes I am not too happy with what I play, but often I can play some pretty amazing stuff.

Don't know if I've answered your question or not.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/some-philosophical-questions/#post-184365 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/some-philosophical-questions/#post-184251 Mon, 19 Jun 2006 15:24:21 +0000
