play my guitar more

I got a Native American flute and taught myself how to play it to try to inspire me again on the guitar. Sure enough it worked. It gave me way to modify my style to make it interesting again. Its rough getting caught in a rut and not knowing what to do to pull back out of it. This wont be a fix forever either, but it should add more variety and hopefully it will help the music feel refreshing longer. The flute was easy to learn after playing so many instruments, and was well worth the time. I find myself taking it with me while going on hunts now.
Take care everyone!

Finally picked up a guitar a few days ago. Have been doing hand exercises and stretches again too. These old fists are stiff. I also found some of my old cds. Was really cool listening to them again and made me want to rip it up again. This weekend should be a lot of pickin if I have my way.
Keep playing everyone!

I challenged myself and so far have put it off. I have the music, my guitars, amps, and vamp2 out to do it but have not motivated yet. It is really strange since I used to love playing sooooo much. There is no physical or mental reason for me not to and the only thing I can think of that is hindering me is, it is harder to feel the music now. As years passed, more and more of life has desensitized me to the point that it is hard to feel music anymore. If you pray, pray for it to come back! I will get to it today and play for a while.

Into the groove of this. I started playing 23 years ago. Since then I have been in a few bands and written hundreds of songs. Then I got married and had kids. At that point I pretty much stopped playing and have only written 2 songs in 10 years. I just seemed to lose my drive and desire to play. I think of it almost every day and sometimes all day for days. Still I can not get back into it. A few months ago I got out my old vox amp and les paul guitar. Sure sounded sweet. Then I hooked up a VAmp2 for the fun of it and it really was fun for about 3 days. Then I ran out of things to play and could not motivate again.

Any advice anyone?

What happened? I’m going to give this another serious attempt. I need to for my own sanity. God bless and keep playing everyone!
