play the guitar more

Picked up the guitar today and played for about 2 hours straight. Then later I started messing about on it and even wrote a few riffs. On the way I guess =)

I picked up my guitar today and tried to play it… Alas… I didn’t enjoy it at all. All it brought with it was frustration and hurt that I cannot write… that I cannot remember… that I haven’t invested both time and money into it… that my hands are not used to it and it hurts now… and more. One step forward, two steps back.

I’m a little scared that one of the things I, once upon a time, loved more than any other activity, may have lost its appeal and joy to me. I don’t even know why… I could take a few guesses but I really can’t be sure.

All in all, today sucked.

I used to love playing guitar. I used to write so many songs and really enjoy spending hours on end playing them. I miss it now, but I am lacking the motivation to pick the axe up… I wanna try and fix that. So here’s hoping.

i do enjoy this and want to get into it again, I’m thinking an hour a week to start and see how it goes, plus it keeps my hands busy and stops me thinking about food or smoking

I found my mom’s guitar while helping her move into her beach house in South Carolina. I was 16 at the time and it made me giddy. The thing had been collecting dust for years so I swiped it. I’ve been playing on and more often off since. I will pick it up and get really into it for about a month and then drop it for three. This does not improve my playing.
