I just got done practicing on my acoustic guitar... to me almost nothing sounds prettier. I've got the tune I was playing stuck in my head. Actually, I don't even know if it sounds anything like a pre-existing song because I just kinda made it up as I went along. Its an instrumental, so no lyrics. Probably best, because I'm terrible at writing them.
I've decided to just work on learning newer country songs and forget about what I need for the bands in which I currently play. I'm really, honestly tired of what goes on with our group. I want something different. Its hard to take initiative to bring new music into the group when you think that nobody else cares about learning it. Most of the time they turn down what I bring in, regardless of it being a good song. If they have to learn to play anything they don't all ready know, they'd rather drop it than practice and get it right. I don't think those guys are going to budge, even though they know they need to if they want to keep their crowd. One thing I do know, is that when you get bored onstage, its time to either find a new home or hang it up and walk away... and I can't walk from it.
So I guess I'll just have to find a new home with another band... or get one together myself. Just the thought of it scares me a little, because I've been with one of the groups I play with for five years, and we're all pretty close friends. I know I can't stay where I am now though. Its time to move on.
