Some of you guys know this, but I think it's time I make it official.
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!
