Who else has lost motivation to play guitar?
I don't really know what it is... I just haven't felt like sitting down and playing in a while. The last time I felt like this, I started writing some stuff and it made me enjoy it more, but since then I've had some nasty writer's block. I'm just not feeling it.

Re: Who else has lost motivation to play guitar?
If you haven't got one already, try electric. I know I felt as if I played all I wanted to play on acoustic and felt I was repeating the same songs over and over and not really getting anywhere. Thats why I decided I would get an electric for Christmas rather than a better acoustic. Right now I love playing both.

Re: Who else has lost motivation to play guitar?
I've been playing electric for years now. Started off acoustic, but most of the time when I play out I play electric. I'm pretty versatile... Kinda a jack of all trades, master of none type of guitarist.
I really have the desire to play other instruments... I can do little bits of stuff on the piano and violin (both of which I have in my room up at school), and I also have a bass to play. I really wanna play drums but don't have the means.
I don't really care about playing a lot of stuff I hear anymore. it's weird.

Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?

Re: Who else has lost motivation to play guitar?
I wasn't really playing that much these past few months, but ever since I got my new electric last week I have been playing non-stop learning a whole bunch of new stuff.

Re: Who else has lost motivation to play guitar?
my acoustic seems to be sounding like shit since i got the action lowered, really tinny. i think it may be time for a new guitar but in no way can i afford one

Re: Who else has lost motivation to play guitar?
I kind of lost my motivation to practice after my cousins son passed away. He encouraged me to start taking lessons.....then two days after the funeral my guitar instructor had a stroke while working as a DJ at a wedding. Cripes, this was all in October and it took me until this past Tuesday to get my motivation back to start practicing again. I suppose I was just so sad that I lost my umph to play.
Now my instructor is back and doing great and playing again. He and I chatted quite a bit during my first lesson back and didn't really play much but I think it opened up my eyes to a few things. So I am back on track and determined to practice and get it together.

I have no desire whatsoever to play guitar anymore.
