I’m sorry this happened Terry, because I know how important playing guitar is to you. Take it from someone who’s been dragged through the mud several times with injuries that put me on the sidelines to playing I can feel for ya. I’ll say this though. You’re allowed to have a pity party, because that’s just human nature.
I thought back to when you started. There’s no doubt in my mind, you’re a talented person that has many outlets. You’re a songwriter. You’re a guitarist. You were a performer. You’re a storyteller. You’re an entertainer on so many levels. You’ve put together singles and full sets and publish them you might even have CDs at this point. I don’t know, but I do know that you have the electronic versions on Spotify and other places you pick up on things so quickly and find so much jubilation (i’ve always wanted to use that word in a sentence ha ha) and have so much exuberance. It comes through every cell of you’re being. So what can you do?
You can do the fretboard wizard, which I think is a great outlet, if you haven’t done it in a while. You can do the harmonica, which I think is another great artistic outlet. You could continue your songwriting. If you don’t have keyboards go purchase an inexpensive keyboard at I used hand store. I purchased one for $20 at Goodwill. The guitar follows the same notes, chords, scales as piano. It would be very easy to learn the notes, scales and chords on a keyboard that you would typically use on the guitar, and you can put together some compositions.
Keep your chin up buddy guys reach out to me and direct message if you start getting down because trust me I’ve been there a lot of people have helped lift me up during the last several years so I’m there for you too. You got this!
