guitar is a strange thing. its my life, more than skiing, school, family or anything, yet i never talk about it with anyone, so i doubt i'd participate in the cult too much.
same here, I play waayyy too much now that its summer and I could probably own all of my friends but, Im only partially in one band and havent reeally showcased my talent anywhere besides at home.
I agree with Asac......guitar is strange. I only play when Im alone and I just improvise the whole time. I rarely ever play other people's music and its just a weird form of expression for me. If you put a mic in front of me, I can't play worth shit, because I know that Im being recorded. The privateness gives me a peaceful environment free of self conciousness.
