Thinking of giving up on music and playing guitar

when arthritis made it tougher to play guitar, I got into synths / electronic music, started exploring other types of music, eventually found my way back to guitar while getting into organ and semi-modular / modular synths, and most recently accordion. :yes:

take a break, try another instrument. rediscover the fun of making noise again. when you find your way back to guitar, it will likely be interesting and inspiring again.

I got so irritated with the band and playing out thing, I sold all my guitars and amps. To me, sitting there by myself with a guitar produces zero enjoyment. Around the time my band fizzled, a friend brought over a Native instruments Maschine (which is a sampler)
He hit a pad on the sampler and it made a rooster noise. I said, wait, you can link any wav file to a pad? YEP. I got bit then and there.

So now, although I'm not really a techno guy based on my past experience. So instead of making metal and hillbilly blues with a band, I sit by meself and crunch out techno tunes that nobody listens to :D
