Totally fed up......

Man, it sucks, not being able to pick up a guitar and just strum a few chords. It's been 4-5 weeks now - and I literally can't pick up a guitar, I tore a muscle in my right shoulder.My left hand still works OK - but oh, those callouses....they've gone SOFT! I'm used to having fingertips that can drum on tables - and sound like metal on glass - and use 'em as sandpaper when I'm painting anything.Don't mind me, I'm just whingeing/moaning/whining - but it really is a royal pain not being able to pick up a guitar and play a few chords. Or even slide. I even have to drink left-handed!Went to the doctor's yesterday - he gave me exactly the same advice he gave me a few weeks ago. Keep the sling on, and don't do anything to strain the shoulder. Another 3-4 weeks it should be fine.....I an BORED out of my skull. I want to play guitar - and I can't. So - what am I doing in the meantime, I hear you ask? Playing a lot of air guitar with the left hand, and practising left-hand keyboard techniques - and I'll bet I can't put those rolling left-hand bass melodies together with a right hand melody or some chords when everything's better! Fed up....really, really, really fed up! Lord, I'm looking forward to the day when I can play again...... :cry: :cry: :cry: Vic

in the meantime I'm just spending my time listening to some great music via the TV and youtube..

Have you been watching I'm in a Rock 'n' Roll Band! ?
Seems to me that they have got the personality stereotypes spot on. :lol:
