So, before i started playing the guitar, all i did was to sit in front of the computer/xbox. So i guess that all my life I've been called a nerd and the only thing i was good at was just at games.

But then i started to play the guitar. First on and off, but later much more serious and i just love the feeling of making progress. smile.gif

But now, i never want to play guitar. Until i really pick it up, then i can't stop playing it.

And today i just realized that this was the case when i played football to, I never wanted to go to football practice, but once i was there i kinda liked it.

Later i realized that i didn't like football and the only reason i were playing it was because my parents wanted me to do some sport.

And well, now that I feel this feeling again, I start to believe that the reason I play guitar now is that other peoples no longer see me as a nerd, but more of a guitar player.

I love to play the guitar, but i never feel like doing it until i really hold the guitar in my hands.

So I want to know, what is really the right reason to play guitar? Is it a very bad reason to play it just because it makes me someone else?

Btw i put quite alot of time on playing guitar if it makes any different.

I always want to pick up my guitar. I think I got tired of it for 3 days once. Maybe I was sick, don't remember.

Nothing wrong with wanting to impress people. Just look at it that you want to have something to give to them, do it for yourself, and for them. That will impress them, and be cool at the same time.


edit: here is a video, if you ever what to know what music should be. I just love this song, never heard it until a month ago.
90's Band called James from Manchester. At the end look at the audience, and how emotional they are, and the singer, how he bonds with them, very emotional I think. He gave to them, they gave back.

You problem is not in guitar mate, it is in your social life I think... I don't think playing the guitar will solve your real problem, and although guitar can help you to build some king of self esteem (cause men and specially women think musicians are cool etc), you have to be the person you like. You cannot achieve that by just focusing on guitar and hoping that guitar playing will fix you as a person. Don't get me wrong tho, guitar can help you to make new friends, meet interesting people and everything, but it will not help you to deal with those people in a proper way. If you think bad of yourself (for example, you mentioned yourself that you think you are nerd, playing games etc), guitar won't help there. It's all in your mind. You have to just let go of those thoughts, and think better of yourself. Meet some friends, hang out a bit, invite them to your place, live a little, and in time it will all come into place.

Oh, did I mention to continue to play guitar? wink.gif
