Move, move, move!

I gave my guitar up today for it to be fixed and now I am guitar-less. Let me tell you something, I have so much time on my hands I have no idea what to do with myself. I guess homework will be priority one but the more I sit around the more I feel like I'm being draw into something else. It's hard to put words to the thoughts and feelings that are inside of my head and heart right now but the best way is that I know I am sitting here at this computer typing this post. Yet, even though I know it's perfectly crazy and I'm out of my mind, that I'm being dragged to somewhere else to start what I really want to do. I don't know if it's withdrawl symptoms from not having my guitar but I did a recording of stuff I've been working on, and some John Mayer songs, and with it being at 1 am in the morning it sounded pretty good for not knowing a lot on the guitar.

Solos were being nailed, fills were being filled to the overflow line, and the beat was there. This relates back to my last post about losing your self in the moment. I listened to this recording of just an idea I had and I as much as I hate boasting myself I was actually happy with what I had heard.

I'm glad I recorded it because it gives me hope that I can still be a good guitarist. Recording musician as a job? Far from it. But the heart is there. I wonder if the rest can catch up.
