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.

QUOTE(Everdying @ Mar 29 2018, 06:25 PM) then its time to learn how to shred like Malmsteen's sifu... Paganini  but ya, the only way to keep me motivated to play guitar is to either get in a proper band or do session stuff. or be like me, buy cheap guitars... [attachmentid=9698908] Did try this out, damn too hard. Gave up. haha will try it out again once I've finished my exam.  My band currently recording and we're looking to produce an EP, it seems this year we're going full speed, trying to get more gigs. I just don't know why I feel like not too interested in it. I wouldn't touch my bass if it wasn't because jamming or perform. Maybe it's the gym thing, always feeling tired at the end of the day. That's a sweet bass bro. Got it from Japan kan?

QUOTE(ThisWorldisWeird @ Oct 22 2018, 05:25 PM) How are you keeping up recently ? Not bad actually. Buying new stuff definitely helps  . 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
