So now I happily strum Tom Dooley. Great advice. I still suck but I'm jolly about it. Can't imagine that happening to you. Sogoddamproudaya man. Dog Cat,

If not, what I'm seeing on your blog is you struggling to perfect a few pieces, but not you cutting loose or playing out or anything. Which means you're not having fun with it. Give it a day, give it a jam, give playing something loose and outrageous and not written already. See if you can find the fun again. If that was April Fools Day, you got me.

Then again, my calendar says this might be a joke... if so, well, you're... just... a mean... mean guy. I wish you the best of luck either way :) Hi Joe,

If that is your road, I totally respect and understand that. It sounds like you are probably just really burned out. You've been logging in heavy hours. Probably without huge payoffs at this point. And well, having a life outside of music is important too. If you can swing it, take a nice vacation, forget about music for a week or 2, then see how you feel when you come back. If you are done, I'd just like to say that I've enjoyed your blog, and will miss it. Some food for thought: When asked in an interview, "what is the biggest reason for your success?", Steve Vai replied, "perseverance". Cheers Only you can know, if quitting is what truly feels right.
