Members gardo Posted November 14, 2012 Members Share Posted November 14, 2012 It's hard for me to say why but I think it comes down to a need to express myself. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Burgess Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 I enjoy playing and I enjoy listening to my playing quite a bit. Occasionally others had even been known to enjoy listening to my playing as well. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billythegoat Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 First it was for acceptance. Then it turned to entertainment, both for myself and others. Now it just a complete obsession and hopefully a source of income one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members goslats Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 Yep an expression kind of thing along with the 'When you play the Blues you lose the Blues. Playing music also excercises parts of the brain that makes me feel good. Oh yeah, it's also a discipline like math. I also told myself I would play all my life so even if I'm not in the mood I live up to the commitment. That was 47 years ago....a man of my word huh LOl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BeanoBoy Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 When I pick up a guitar, plug into an amp and slam an A or E chord, I feel good. Anything that follows is icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 Originally, to attract women. That didn't work out for me, so I learned to like it for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vcnyls Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 I started when I was in law school and was starved for some sort of creative outlet. It worked perfectly an I really believe that I wouldn't have made it through school without it. After that playing just became a big part of my life. I love it and some of the best moments of my day are when I'm playing (whether for a minute or a few hours or anywhere in between). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wayne2 Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 It makes me feel good. It started out as some sort of project to grow as a person, have a hobby, attract women etc., but now I just like how I sound and the whole feeling of brain-hands-guitar in action. I think it exercises a part of my brain I don't use enough because I always feel great after playing, especially if I've learned a new song.

Members Tidal Rhythm Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 I think the combination of making finger shapes and the beautiful sounds they produce are as close to magic as we're ever gonna get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members honeyiscool Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 I've played music all my life. At this point, I play because what else am I going to do? I think I've just lost any desire to do anything else, particularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wrongnote85 Posted November 15, 2012 Members Share Posted November 15, 2012 i think expression is too often used as the reason for art, but i don't think there is a better way to say it. i don't make music to express my feelings to other people. i make music to release my inward feelings to please myself. for me, this works, and for others it is most likely different. but to each his own. it doesn't really matter, so long as it is happening. that is the most important thing, IMHO.
