One of the things that could help is maybe understand the process the “pros” go through with writing material, from what I understand eddie and malcolm are famous for recording everything they played and kept a bank of these tapes to put together tracks form shards within them. It’s a process from what I understand. And I very successful business man once told me his success rate was 4%. I suppose there’s a lesson in there somewhere.
Today being sunday, I played for hours jamming to black star on my LP type with 11s, I enjoyed every moment even though I have lost all my calluses, I feel stupid for not playing all these months. Worked out the head and pivotal points, such a fun track to vamp off. Some pain, but it felt good to be playing again, had a few great moments and that’s all that matters.
I think it’s very important to have a buddy to bounce and share with, go play backing riffs with more experience players if that’s what will make you comfortable. Fear is the mind killer, to be honest I missed out on playing live for the same reasons and I regret it.
