mcmurray Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 It happens to the best of us mate. You'll get back into it eventually, with an even greater enthusiasm than before, just don't sell your gear cos you'll regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eallenb Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I find myself estranged at times. Such as just recently getting involved with my new girl friend. A 1964 Hammond A-102. (B-3 on Steroids). I know this too will pass and we will all play nicely with each other:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 There's always other priorities in life. Most of the time I can only get to my guitar on the weekends. Your guitars still love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She does though tend to sway me to abandon my affectionate playing of my other ladies. I look forward to it. I recently bought a Yamaha Motif XS6 and it's playing very nicely with the guitars. Does a good imitation of a Hammond too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I'm a daily player - playing or gigging (infrequently). But occasionally something comes up and I get away from it for a while. You'll get back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigh Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Same thing with me. I've been sick for the past week & had no desire to pickup a guitar to play. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman5293 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I have this problem sometimes. I play almost every single day for at least an hour. But sometimes I get to a point where I go several days or even a week without playing just because I don't want too. Like the others said, you'll get back to it.

My dear internet friend, if you re-read my comment, I wasn't downing Molly... I was commenting on 70's groupies. Have you seen one now, lmbo, (if thery're still alive?) Oh my, I just threw up in meh mouff... Now, if you're mad at me 'cos you like them, them I appologize... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky scott 29 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I too have my moments when I don't play, or when I just don't have time. It just goes with the territory, for all of us I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 When I sit in my favorite spot, I see three electrics, one acoustic, and two cigar box guitars, so it's hard not to play. If I get stale, I switch. Lately, I've been grabbing the Daddy Mojo 5 string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I can't go more than 2 days without playing something. Guitar (even though it might be Acoustic or resonator or set up for slide), Mandolin, Drums, or learning something new about the keyboard or something. I get all cranky and restless, and I have a hard time paying attention when I don't play for any length of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigh Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I did play some bass today. I hope it counts. I don't want that visit from Dem00n tomorrow. LOL Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I know this probably isn't the best habit, but it seems with me, the more I gig the less I play at home. I've been playing a lot of gigs lately (at least a lot for me) and on average only pick up my guitar at home about twice a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FirstMeasure Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 With all the gigging, perhaps playing guitar has turned into a job? I hope I'm wrong. What's wrong with that? Why is there the perception in our society that you have to hate your job and only do what you love as a "Pass Time"? I mean, when was the last time you thought, "Man, I've been playing too much guitar lately, I sure wish I was cleaning Grease Traps or Organizing Paper Work."
