(Sorry) I am sorry this has happened to you.
You know, from the producing side of your music interest, there are many very highly regarded industry standard Virtual instruments VSTi out there of nearly any instrument, where the subtleties of the instrument can be captured! If you listen to the background music of a movie these days, very dramatic, it's virtual instruments! (Or should be) Costs money though obviously, but I'd go down that path jaklevko because you're still creating music and there's probably some great guitar Vsti out there too, I'd definitely check them out at least. The love of creating/producing music will be the thing to fill the void surely .  |
Listen, I aprreciate what you write to me, but to me creating my own music is not the problem. It's the fact that I can't play it. I would say that creating my own music is not what I love much. It just came to me somehow, I will write about it below.
In the past, I tried to do something on my computer and I found out this is clearly not something I would enjoy. My passion is playing music, not the production. Another thing is that if I was able to create something without instrument in my hand, it would be actually depressing that I can't play it.
To give you some idea, I can play ca. 170 songs I like and I created only 6. I haven't listened to those for more than a year and haven't played them for much longer because the story behind this was really depressing. I really regret that I did it actually. And since then, although I had two or three riff ideas, I didn't have the motivation to do something complex, there was simply no reason (it is not for my band and even my recording gadgets broke down).
I'm more into heavy music so as a guitarist you probably can understand there are different kinds of palm mute tones, for example. Also, I study IT so that's another reason why playing music was a great hobby and passion for me as it didn't involve anything digital (my setup is completely analog).
