     God your reason sounds so much more plausible lol I feel slightly selfish now. I’m going to try to play at least an hour a night. Start with some easy stuff again. Thanks for the advice noah

   How’s that going for you? It’s amazing how much other people can influence our attitudes, isn’t it?! Well, do yourself a favor…don’t let anyone bleed any more of the fun out of your life. You had a bad fit with your last guitar mentor, but there is another someone out there that you will click with and get the star back into your inner rockstar. Talk to other guitarists, go to shows, surround yourself with people who feel the way you used to feel. You got incerdibly lucky your first time around by getting a teacher that you clicked with right away. It took me 18 years of classical piano lessons to realize that I didn’t hate the piano, I hated the classical piano. So I started playing the blues…and I fell in love with music all over again. Good thing blues translates so well to other instruments, eh?!Anyway, change something up and keep trying. Never give up, never surrender! Peace out!

     Thanks alot Sue, I suppose I did get very lucky with my first teacher. I’m definitely going to try and play more, listen more, and go to gigs more. When I was writing my other post the other day about which Guitarists I had met, I remembered just how good gigs were. I’m also going to do a post in the near future on how my Guitar Motivation is getting on

   I’ve been playing 3 months and i have no intention of putting my guitar down, ever. It goes where i go, through thick and thin, and with it, awesome music. I’m self-teaching and I feel like every day or couple of days, there is some minor improvement. I Think as a motivation, you should put up what you learn every week, in steps, how you managed, where you struggled, and then leave it to the rest of us to congratulate and elevate your esteem and enthusiasm. What do you think about this?
