In my teens and early twenties I was way into playing guitar. I was well on my way to being pretty good I thought, but somewhere just lost interest. That is I lose interest until I see a live show or hear something that really inspires me. But soon enough I get distracted again, usually by video games. Games have probably been THE biggest thing to steal my time from playing guitar. There are other factors too but games are a big part of it. But a couple of days ago I finally cleared all the crap off of my amp and tuned up my axe and jammed on some Opeth tunes. To the extent that my fingers hurt like they did when I first started playing. It felt good. Now here's where things get a bit wacky. I was using my 360 to play the music I was playing along to and when the song (Harvest in case you were wondering) was over I went to back out of the menu and I attempted to press a button on the neck of the guitar. Whoa. That is not cool. Funny, yes. Cool, NO. So I intend to to atone for this by getting a bunch of guitar stuff, like new strings, picks and a capo. I just bought a drum set recently (yea I know) so I might get some drum stuff too. I'm just kind of bugged out that I've slacked for so long and I'm trying to get back into music because, lets face it, gaming isn't the most constructive pastime. Not that I'm going to quit gaming anytime soon.
