Haven't had the urge to play guitar in 6 months

Idaes: try an alternate tuning, learn a song, learn another instrument, get inspired by music (usually when I feel how you're feeling it's just because I'm not enjoying music very much in general. If I get inspired by something I feel like making music again.).

>try an alternate tuning
usually wears off after a few minutes.
>learn a song
pfft, been doing that since forever.
>learn another instrument
good idea. what do you recommend?
>get inspired by music
that never seems to happen to me. I can only listen to it and appreciate it from a distance.

For me I find going to open mics or talking with others about music or working on their music has greatly helped my optimism and ability to write songs. Apparently "I'll Get By With A Little Help From My Friends" is an extremely legit mantra for evolving your music.
Jonathan Hernandez
try getting some pedals, or a new guitar

you're ready for bleep bloop

I dunno. Mandolin, banjo, bouzouki, lute, etc., would all be easier to learn with your already developed guitar skills. Could try violin, cello, or bass for a big challenge. Why not learn the flute though. Seems pretty fun to me.

Assuming you are not phoneposting, you have already one in front of you. Just download VCVRack or pirate Ableton and a few VSTs.
John Adams
I've been thinking of adopting electronic music but then I'm afraid in a few years I'll have saved up and bought all that expensive equipment and I'll be right back here, bored and out of ideas - now with midi controllers.
I'm Chromebookposting because I'm poor.

if you're feeling anhedonic in general, stay away from easy pleasures, specially the internet, for a while
pleasure derived from effort tends to pale in comparison with consumption, so you need to deliberately reduce this shit if you want to stay creative
overstimulation is a bitch
