Even more bored...

Bob,

i think your best bet is to hook up with a local studio that either has software that you know or you could bring your laptop to the studio for session work. I would also put out some adds for people looking for a producer. This way you will keep the douchepickels out of your house.

Excellent points but then again bob can answer any Douchpicklery with a well timed Gogoplata!!!

He just needs to make sure he wears his spiderman shirt. Once they see that , the dough will come rolling in.

combine that with a fanny pack and its money in the bank!!

 

[again with this]

If I had some software and a computer that was worth a shit at home, I would love to work with you on something. Lately waht I have done for motivation is pick up the acoustic. Not only does it add an extra flavor, its helping with the chops as the acoustic is a wee bit harder to rip on than the electric.

If I had an acoustic I would definitely give that a shot. Maybe I could learn some old folk tunes or something. I'm just completely unmotivated right now. I need a good mixing project or something; I just don't really feel like playing the guitar.

You can come and engineer for my shitty metal band. We can use all the help we can get.

I only think that would go over well at the studio I work at. At least I think Kage would understand

Hey Bob;

I remember you posting something similar about a year ago over on the VHT forums. Have you been struggling with this all along? It almost sounds like you have some kind of depression or something. I don't mean that to be sarcastic or anything, I think it might be worth looking into, there could be a medical cause for this. Do you feel the same way towards work, family, and the rest of your life? Or maybe you have just out-grown playing guitar?

Anyway, I wish you luck .. losing the passion for guitar would be one of my worst fears, it must be almost as bad as not being able to play due to a physical injury.

Nope, I've had a blast doing the jams and have done some other projects that I've enjoyed. The guitar playing thing isn't a symptom of a larger problem, at least I don't think it is since I take great care not to let others influence my mood by secluding myself to a small closet during all of my non-working hours. When I go to work I wear all black clothing, a black top hat and black glasses so that I don't draw attention to myself and finally, I do not communicate with anybody, ever. This all keeps depression in check for me.

But seriously, this is just a phase I'm going through. If I've out grown playing, then I'll just sell all my gear and spend the money on yummy food and stuff.

you could try listening to some new music, until you find a riff that you really like, then try and learn it. good way of getting motivation. sometimes you can spend a day or two away from the guitar, then you get song ideas in your head and you gotta play them, but don't play the guitsr for two days, sometimes even a week, then you pick up the guitar all refreshed with loads of ideas in your head, trying to get them all down and coming up with new songs as you go along. you can also try nailing some new techniques, like sweep picking, or string skipping, something like that. just some ideas, sorry if they dont work.

I like the idea of wearing a top hat to work. I do all my writting on a acoustic and most of my playing. If it sounds good on the acoustic it sounds great on the electric. I was doing a cover band in the fall and was playing like ten hours a day. My hand cramped up. I could only play for about 15 min. and it would happen [damm you Tony Iommi]. Had to stop for awhile (months). when I stated again I played much cleaner. Made me a better player. I'm sure different phases in playing are normal. As with everything in life.

Bob and Ralph, can I team up with you on this upcoming project? It would look good on my resume.
