At the Crossroads

Carrying on from a post in which XRB mentioned that he most probably is into listening to music more than performing it..... This year has I have dipped into some real low places with my guitar playing (and I dont mean down a mine shaft!) GFSA has been a good thing, in 5 years have added to my one guitar (there is 6 now), acquired amps, FX and knowledge and inspiration that not even 'Guitarist' magazine could give me. this is the thing, I (as Bob mentioned) have realized that I am more of a music appreciator than a guitar player, so much of my energy is taken up trying to prove this wrong and it's causing huge frustration in my life. I have not got anywhere with my guitar playing because of this, I need to possibly step down a bit and do some self examination and see where to go from here. Wasted energy is hectically tiring. I cant give up music, but maybe the whole guitar thing needs some different emphasis, back to the casual bedroom guitarist I was 5 years ago with no big struggle within myself. thanks for all the great encouragement and friendship through the years, but I need to step back and do some introspection. Norm can take up the Birthday Greetings mantel.... Will pop in every now again though ta Squonk
