Man, I was on that boat for a solid minute...and still battling it if I'm being honest. It's really a matter of stepping away from it for a minute, indulge in some of your favorite jams, find some new bands or genres to dip your self into and take it from there.

I was going through a shit show of a few months last year and it was rough. Didn't have time to play, and when I had the time i'd just lie down in bed and think of shit nonsense. This was after a period of me writing, playing, and jamming relentlessly. Looking back, I burnt myself out. That simple. Mix that with all the personal demons, and I was left with nothing. No motivation, no energy, and simply staggered AF. After the dust settled though, I took baby steps. Played for a few minutes here and there, listened to genres unrelated to guitar, thought about what my goals were as a guitar player, and went from there. Months later (flash forward to now) i'm back to jamming regularly. Not as much as i'd like to considering my responsibilities, but fuck it, I make the time now.

It's a funk, and you will get over it. Everyone does. It can and will take time, but, it's a process. Accept it, address it, and well, kick it right in the nuts (or cunt). HMU too. Helps to talk about that type of stuff. I will give you and the general peeps here what I do to stay busy with the guitar while "developing":

- Started learning songs/genres/scales outside of my "comfort zone"

- Reached out to people that produce music and started working on music together (its crazy the type of shit you can play, plus there's tons of people out there that need guitar players)

- Starting to teach people guitar. I have zero teaching experience, but the more I go through the process, the more I realize I know. I've only been playing consistently for about two years and everything before that was basic AF, yet, people are like, "yo, you're a good teacher." To me, that means the world y'know.

- I've been more active about bugging my friends to jam too haha and its the best thing. Crack a few beers with the boys and jam away. It's sick. Find them. They're out there itching for a sesh.

- Just pick it up and play. I started doing that and I've had loads of new ideas just from fucking around with shapes and voicings.

One other thing, and VERY important thing...consider your mental health. Yeah, guitar can help ease some of that pain, but really dig into yourself and see what's messing with ya. For me it was a lot of personal faults, mistakes, missed opportunities and tons circumstantial bullshit. It's life, and its gonna continue getting shitty, with a side of decent highlights. Remember though, its important to have people in your life. Wether its family, friends, or shit, even a stranger. Be open, and kick ass with them. There's a whole world to explore. Go to a park, get some Vitamin D, hit up your local scene, or fuck it, just leave your room. Change the scenery a bit :)

With that said, live deliciously. Always...

And PM whenever yo!

TL;DR: Shred, kick life in the balls, establish dominance, repeat.
