hehe. frustrated as a musician? well, we cant all be stars, etch our names in the music world, or maybe earn a living through music. we will just have to enjoy playing guitar, at least its the best job in the world. and nothing wrong to dream and aim high too.
frustrated as a guitarist? or maybe bored? maybe the ff. might spice up your guitar life a bit.
1. Stop your GAS(for now) but make sure your guitar is in good shape and sexy.
2. Stop comparing yourself(if you are), we're all students(even the beastly players), this is not a race.
3. Stop/minimize listening to guitar oriented music(those seemingly selfish type where the guitar always grab the spotlight), instead listen to other records that feature other instruments(sax, piano, trumpet, etc...), hear the beauty in them and try to cop them, it doesnt need to be note for note, but cop them the way you hear them and how they should sound.
4. take a simple song, improve it, try to add your personality to it.
.......
5. its a big world out there, some things you'll have to put off for a while and come back later. eat, sleep, have a good time w/ your lady, whatever...
