“Stop worrying about your goals and find your reason”
Maybe these are my reasons……… (I’m not really sure🤔)- in no particular order.
A. I REALLY love the sounds that come out of my guitar. I really love just the simple pleasure of realizing that I AM CREATING THAT SOUND……. right then……. just me……..right then….. just ME. I know that may sound dumb, but it’s that real-time, “I am doing this… right NOW” feeling that keeps me coming back. That is THE **excitement** for me.
B. I also consider myself a bit of a “worker”, that is, I kind of like a challenge. I think I like “pushin’ that boulder up that mountain”. Or at least I used to— maybe a bit less lately🤔- not sure. Seems like since I started trying to find, play and memorize my 5-10 “favorite” songs, and also since I started writing and playing my own stuff– I think I’m getting a little lazy on the Dailies and Skills courses in TAC. I’m doing them- just with quite a bit less enthusiasm.
C. As far as my own songs goes, some or most of the songs I am working on are about things I’ve done in my life. Some of the time they are things I wish I could take back, but of course can’t. Or things I just wish I had done differently.
Writing, finding lyrics and chord progressions, changing, re-working musically, re-working again, playing, changing again, and singing and playing— is all kind of a therapy for me.
Is that what you mean by “process your emotions?”
Anyway– Thanks again for answer/post(s)…
To Jeff and Cadgirl—- thank you for your responses as well– and I will respond– but my brain is tired😜.
