Oh you play the drums dude? That's rad man, I dig it. Like the band Tool at all? I play electric, gotta fat strat and a telly and a whole bunch of analog pedals and a tube amp with just two dials on it. Old school beautiful sound and I play in the dark corner of the basement with the amp facing the cement wall for natural reverb (got this idea on 2C-C and moved my stuff all in there... no distractions, dark creepy space in the dark man no seats, guitar at my waste. I'm gonna set up my telecaster today (ash bodied, blonde finish, beauty guitar with a maple neck) and play some chill stuff, not the usual more intense stuff I shred. I need to practice my cover track though too (Memento Mori by Architects... my idol guitarist who died of cancer at 28 last year... his last art).
I am frustrated by this as well. I would dedicated hours and hours each and every day I could manage to, which would be at least 5 days a week.
Yeah man once I got clean I hadn't played in like two years cause my addiction stole all of that energy and creative drive from my spirit, but my playing is better than ever before from very little practice. I am coming back with a vengeance. Glad you got playing again too!
