Finding the time!!!
I picked up my guitar for the first time in a couple of weeks and was really let down with how bad I let my playing get. It felt as though I was learning to play all over again. I started playing back in 1999 and was really serious about it for about 5 years. At one point a guy from livewire offered me a job playing 3 nights a week at the local dives, but I had to refuse. I wasn't really into playing the top 40's stuff if you know what I mean.
Back in 2004 I became the proud father of twin girls and haven't really been able to find the time to play anymore. Between the wife, kids, and 60 hours a week at the office I just can't seem to work playing into my schedule.
What really sucks is that it is the one thing I was always really passionate about. If anyone out there can give me any ideas on how to find the time I would sureley appreciate it!
Joe- I was bummed to find out you were so close to my home town in early November. I hope you guys make back to Arizona again. I would love to catch a live show. I used to play a caouple of sets with nothing but songs from Flying in a Blue Dream and the Extremist. Any technique tips you could offer would be awesome.
