What do you do?

Post by Naga »

Getting in a funk and not picking up my 6-strings as much has plagued me off and on for awhile. Oh, I still wanna play,.... I just pick up though, play the 5 riffs or so that I know, figure out a slight add-on to whatever, put down and rest it. I know where I want to go,... I just don't know how to get there. And, it just begs the question... What do you do to find some new interest, keep you drilling, and what do you do to improve your talents, abilities, and whatever else you want to call them?

Get on you tube and look up acts you always wanted to see live ,but couldn't for what-ever reason.
You'll find inspiration.
Or sledride down hill on a guitar case.
Or go watch some-one who plays something totally different from what you like.
These are just suggestions, song books are great too.
Always strive to keep learning.

I am like that also. I have my guitar beside me at all times. I occasionally pick it up, but work and the like keep me from doing it as much as I would like. I do want to get back into it, though. Maybe I will actually learn how to play this time lol ...

Masturbate while staring at your dead eyes in a mirror...and think about a man or a woman you want to kill or fuck...now after you wipe your perverted self off (don't forget to wash your hand) go pick up your guitar and have at it. :twisted:

On a serious note, go get a couple lessons whether it be on YouTube or where-ever.

Good Luck John, hope you lift from yer funk!!

Pick up a new instrument. Try lap steel tunings on an old beater guitar, and use a chrome deepwell socket for a bar. Distort the hell out of it.--->JMS
