QUOTE(ariffdude @ Mar 29 2018, 12:38 PM) Or just about anything in life, when you get busy, or you have a new hobby, you tend to sacrifice your old passion for it. Been playing music for about 15 years now, and suddenly lost my passion for it. Even not much interest in buying new gears. Playing in a band helps keep it alive, but I barely have time to practice anymore. I remember last time I was so excited to learn all kinds of Children of Bodom songs and shred like YJM or PG, now when I pick up my guitar I just play some short riffs and that's about it. No more interest in learning new songs. Taking grade 8 violin exam this May, and I don't even have the motivation to practice much for it. Getting worried that I'll be like my friends soon, selling off their guitars as time goes by. I'm not even married yet so it would probably get worse when I have a family. |

i am also feeling the same. Being a student and still studying is making me abandoning my guitar and ukelele. I get jealous if i see people posting about how they are improving in their music skills and I am still here burying my face in my books instead..

I don't learn new songs too but I still noodling around. I just simply like the sound of the guitar and the feeling when playing. I use it as stress reliever lol. |

Just got a new tube amp Laney LC15 and couldn't keep my hands off it. Trying to come up with new songs for my band too, next target would be a Focusrite audio interface. The key to keeping the interest alive is to satisfy your GAS  JK JK |
