It's super important to have fun with whatever you do with music!! After I learned how to have more fun with performance, it really made me want to play more and enjoy the experience! What have you done to make playing guitar more fun for you?

I absolutely loved the RMA. I guess all the stress was on you and the other musicians, but for me it was incredible being able to see world class musicians performing in front of 75 people.

Those clinics and the student shows were my favorite times there!

Great topic. Ive had to take breaks from 'work' more than once because the music starts to sound like I'm working too hard at it. Also, teaching little kids is the best because they love every noise they make with an instrument. They never stop playing. 🙂

I have students who re-energize me, for sure! Oh yeah, you can tell when you're overly focused on a piece of music because it goes nowhere good and takes forever to get there, ha. Sometimes it's just good to take a break and then suddenly the musical answer you've been searching for will pop into your head when you're buying low quality beef at Target. :)

@@PaulWarrenMusic Sounds like another story buried in that comment🤣

[@PaulWarrenMusic]

@@mrriley There definitely was some low quality beef from Target in my recent past. 😄 My poor stomach....

Definitely something I need to work on. I play as a hobby and it is intended as a way to relax, but seem to be missing that part. Not sure what it is, probably spending too much time either on exercises with just a bit of improvisation. I'm generally really tired by the time I go to play. I can think of a few times recently where the excitement did kick in though. Either playing small parts of a song I've been listening to for years. I've used MySongBook in Guitar Pro for this. Other times it's been just noodling to some heavy fuzz. I've even flat out laughed and smiled as it sounds so wrong, yet so right 🤘🤘🤘
