jimihendrix69 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I'm not really sure why but I'm losing interest in playing guitar, I've gone from playing 3/4 hours a day last summer to not even playing every day this summer. I've been playing for about 3 years and I just seem to have hit a block. This ever happen to anyone? Any suggestions on what I should learn/do to keep up my interest. I've tried listening to my favorite bands and watching them, but even doing this, I still lose interest after playing for about 30 mins. P.S. this is not just a phase, I've been steadily losing interest for a few months now. Help, somebody, Please!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevdo242 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Well, how good are you at playing guitar? If you can play hard rock songs or heavy metal songs, why not try fingerpicking? Or you could join a band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisi Rokks Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 yeah this happened to me, when i used to play guitar in a band i was occupied. i was always playin it but now i sing an i dont really pick it up anymore. So my advice is get yourself a band, that way you have a reason for playing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnezz Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Make some friends who also play guitar, jamming with them will get you back into guitar, as human competeative nature will force you to get better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringo Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 try making up some stuff, get some friends together that play instuments, and make a song. or just try learning a new type of playing guitar, learn a new style. i used to only play metal but then i got bored so i learn blues and fingerpicking and i experimented with slides and sounds so now my band has a spanish, blues, psychadelic, metal sound to it.now i cant set my guityar down cuz im always experimenting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimihendrix69 Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Thanks for the advice guys, I'm planning to set up a band soon, hopefully within the next two months. Maybe that'll do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
