I've been looking at one of my guitars setting there collecting dust for a while now. I've been playing for many years and really enjoy it. When I get into withdrawal and isolation though even though sometimes I'd like to. I don't play very often or not for long if I do.
I've been playing for a bunch of years and people are always telling me how good I am. Realistically on a scale from 1 to 4 with the gradients being ** Beginner - Casual hobbyist - Intermediate - Professional. Most people would say 3. However when I get depressed it's like I don't want anybody to hear it. So I don't play any of my electrics cuz I know you can hear it through most of the floor of my apartment building. Which isent a problem nobody complains. But then I feel all nervous and anxious like I have to be the rock star or something.
After spending some time in this group and connecting with some people. I really feel allot better. So
I finally decided to pull out one of my acoustics and restring it. Although it's an Ovation so I can plug it into the amp if I wanted to and I sometimes do to use some subtle FX on it. I've been leaving it unplugged and playing old folk songs and more mellow stuff. It's been a while. I forgot how much I like that.
Thanks much to everyone just for being here and being real.
I almost forgot how much I like to talk about psychology and all that junk too ;-)
