Alas, it's been a long hard month of no blogging, but it reflects a long hard month of no creative action. I guess I'm like every other musician who says "YEAH!" but then writes "blah." I think my problems lie in two places:
1. I come home from work and I am too tired to write anything. Instead I have a drink and go to bed, or I go play soccer or basketball or do some other crazy thing. I guess my tiredness excuse doesn't work. I suppose I should say I'm too busy to write.
2. I have no formal music training. Therefore, I can't sit down and play cool music from my own head. I can only play guitar, and not very well at that. All the chords I know sound the same, and none of my four guitars is any better at inspiring me with the way it sounds when I play it than the next.
My solution for these two problems: practice. Wishful thinking, but it's the only way, I think.

um, ya, practice. i wish too. but as a piano teacher, i just have to agree with your own conclusion:)
as for what you said about creativity and all the chords sounding the same, i would have to agree. musical creativity seems to have stopped for the summer for me too:(
