Playing with other musicians gave me the most inspiration!
But I also find very inspiring the desire to learn and get better at what I do. I generally like practicing using backing tracks - to always feel like a part of band and GMC has a cool stash! )) -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

This is an interesting topic. The words inspiration and motivation could probably be used interchangeably in this case. There are both internal and external factors that contribute to these things. Externally speaking, I get inspiration from many different places. Often I get inspired by what music I am listening to on any given week. For instance I get a lot of inspiration/motivation from listening to songs like tears in heaven by clapton, or perhaps some of Gary Moore's stuff like The Messiah will come again. This makes me want to play better, and motivates/ inspires me to work all the harder and practice all the longer. Also, I find playing with other musicians who are slightly to greatly better than me is inspiring, because it makes me want to expand the boundries of my skill level in order to be able to reach the level they have achieved in their playing.
MonkeyDAthos- absolutely agree w/ you about dream theater! However being a wild eyed Blues fanatic I got to add SRV to that! -------------------- My Sound Cloud Profile: http://soundcloud.com/casinostrat

After I hear a cool lesson here on GMC I get inspired! Sometimes it's after listening to a favorite band of mine too.

I sometimes get inspired to play with new ideas that come to me. But also when I see some really cool solo live.
