Mark Wein Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I was watching a livestream with trumpet player Kenny Rampton yesterday and he said something that made me stop and think for a second. He commented that since we've all been stuck at home he has been able to practice more and has been enjoying making music and being creative more than any time since he was a teenager. Anyone else having a sort "quarantine rebirth" of their music making? Not having my practice time be dictated or limited by gigs and other work has actually been great for my playing.

Members jeremy_green Posted May 7, 2020 Members Share Posted May 7, 2020 Yup definitely. Some new tools in the box should emerge when this is all over. It's been kind of a nice time to mop up some sloppy stuff I had going on. I think of guitar kinda like a brush fire - you put one out, meanwhile 4 have sprung up behind you!

Members mosiddiqi Posted May 11, 2020 Members Share Posted May 11, 2020 Yes. Having both of us in the house at the same time has actually led to us writing and recording some new ideas that I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have done before lockdown.

Members Jasco Posted May 19, 2020 Members Share Posted May 19, 2020 I've been in quarantine since November due to reasons other than Corona virus, and yes, this time alone has let me rethink my music a lot. I'm not sure I'm seeing any results yet, in fact it almost feels like I'm backsliding, but it's been fun to not have gig and recording pressures and deadlines.

Keep your head up brother, in all ways not just guitar! In my life I have found that often when I am struggling the most, or seem to be getting the least traction it is almost always followed by a jump in progress. Provided you keep doing the work - again, not just in guitar but in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've really enjoyed the freedom of not having any gigs. I'd enjoy some money, but being able to tear it all down and rebuild has been nice.

Members guitarville Posted July 27, 2020 Members Share Posted July 27, 2020 It does give one a chance to see many more lessons on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youtube has literally exploded with new content, shows and lessons, interviews TONS of stuff during COVID. Now, If this was going on AND we had gigging and an actual industry again - that would be awesome. Unlikely but awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely but awesome Video streaming of concerts with no audiences is the thing of the future and will probably go on a paid subscription on youtube.

Yeah for sure it will... Just not the same at all though. Rocking out is generally best when it's inconvenient lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
