Members evets618 Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 Music gets in the way of everything else. It must be, because I have no chicks, no job, no money, but lots of gear, plenty of dexterity, and rock-hard, um, calluses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members arthurdent'd Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 Art, my creativity goes in cycles; I hit a wall with painting, I make music....and vice versa. Been painting a ton over the last 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melx Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 um... seems to me we are all just choosing to do other things, or putting more importance on other things. We are in control of our own lives, we make our choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members triviani Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Work, definitively. my 3 month old daughter for one... before she came I spent 1-2 hours a day on guitar. now, I'm lucky if its 20 minutes a week.... but she's worth it I bring my 1 year old to the music room with me, she's learning to tweak pedal knobs while I play.

Members The Lou-Dog Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Luckily for me, I am studying a Bachelor of Music at Uni, I work as a guitar teacher, and I play in 3 bands that gig regularly + getting gigs with bands filling in for $$....... So I spose the only thing that gets in the way of 'my' music making is having to play other peoples music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AaronF Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Only kidding, of course. Enjoy it, it the year where I was doing just that was the best year of my life. Situations change, and priorities change and things put me in a different place - but I'm still grateful for every bit of music that is in my life.

Members CicadaSilence Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Dunno. Did it for ten years, never got out of Michigan. I've gotten to the point where it feels like a chore to play music in front of other people, and I'm sick of chasing something that never pays off. I'm just about done with music at this point in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Player99 Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 I wish I had better concentration skills and a longer attention span. I play lots but if I studied more, practiced more scales and theory I would get more out of the time I spend at it. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AJ6stringsting Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 For me it is: 1) Bouldering ({censored} is tearing up my hands) 2) Backpacking 3) Photography I used to come home everyday and at least dick around on my acoustic for a bit. Now I can barely manage that. Still make it to band practice once a week, but that isn't enough. It kinda saddens me, but at the same time I'm doing other new stuff that I enjoy so I guess I don't miss it all that much. So, is {censored} getting in your way? Or are you playing as much or more than ever? 1. Kids, I don't mind she's starting to get interested in the guitar and she is willing to learn .... until then we play hide and seek and watch Sponge Bob Square Pants.2. Work3. Lack of a practice place. :cry:4. Most musicians in the Metal, Hard Rock scene in my town are clique ish, have more egos than talent.5.Most Metal musicians in my town are Meth Monsters .... if you do a cover of GnR's " Patients" .... you better wear goggles becuase the teeth wil start flying when the singer whistle the intro !!!! :facepalm:6. Most guys of 80's musicianship caliber, have quit or too busy with life in general, :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members english_bob Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Kids mostly- 20 months and 5 months. They need a lot of attention when they're awake and don't take kindly to loud electric guitar when they're asleep. The older one loves my guitars, so if I try to play it while he's around he wants to thrash the strings and will drag my picking hand away from the guitar if I try to play it properly. Strumming is *his* job. Quality time with Mrs_bob generally has to wait til the kids are in bed too, as do various household jobs, so my evenings are pretty packed a lot of the time so guitar playing gets pushed further down the list. Other than that, it's motivation- I'm not in a band and I'm no good at songwriting on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
