As of 3 days ago I decided to quit guitar. It's been a gradual process. I've started to feel less and less attraction to the instrument and lately picking up my Parker has not brought any joy to me. I still enjoy hearing some rock music every once and a while, but guitar is just not for me anymore. There is too much competition out there... Too many good players and I feel that I cannot bring anything new out of the instrument. I decided to go full time with another passion of mine. I've always loved stamps and think it's time to dedicate more time to that passion. I still have a few rare ones that I need to complete my early century French stamp collection and guitar has been in the way for too long. I hope you guys understand!

Now that you are quitting guitar David i dont think i can't continue, you've been a massive inspiration to me...i think i'll sell my guitar and carry on with my passion.. Some people think onion selling isnt a career; but im just fascinated by the concept. SO i guess any further time i spend on the forum is a bit of a waste of time...so bye guys! This is my last post! Enjoy your new career David- i think we've made the right decision Happy April fools everyone, et oui Smells, j'aime aussi le Poisson d'Avril You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Perhaps you and Deeproots can sell onions + stamps as a new business venture. Or, you can stick stamps all over your guitar now that you won't be needing it anymore. Or better yet, buy one onion and get one stamp free. You could even mail the onions with your stamps! The posibilities are limitless. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
