Basically nonstop!


Anyway, I've decided to learn guitar... for the third time. I already own two guitars and I have all the accessories (minus one important one that I lost... the tuner!). I just never stuck with it the first two times because depression took the wind out of me. However, I've been playing various instruments since I was 9 and I'll be turning 29 in May, so... we're talking 20 years of understanding music theory. I just have to get used to messing around with the guitar again.


Also, why I own two guitars... Well, I first bought an acoustic guitar and accessories when manic, but shortly thereafter, I became heavily depressed and wanted to do nothing but sleep. Then later on, I moved into an apartment and decided I was gonna start playing guitar again, but... the acoustic was too loud for the apartment, which made me realize I would annoy my neighbors. Thus, I bought an electric guitar and I just either don't plug it into the amp or I put the amp on at a low volume.


I think you will manage through it and maybe enjoy it at some point ... yes pick up the guitar ! Good distraction and being able to make music ? Beautiful gift
