I play guitar, sing, and song-write. Songs come to my head, but I can't play the music on my guitar to match. I've only been playing for a year. My mind used to go to places where I compared myself to famous musicians. But, what's the point? How does that serve me, other than make me feel like there's an insurmountable obstacle to climb? I'm going to just keep learning and having fun. You never know when something might come out of it, and it's important to also accept and be ok with just having fun being creative - even if it only is ever for you, and you alone.
Thinking the other stuff just impedes any real progress toward doing what you want being made.
Thanks. It's a bad habit, I try my best not to do it. I can go a couple of weeks perfectly content with just creating. Then the next couple of weeks fall into a creative slump because I don't like any of my music. And it's one of those things where you can't force yourself to enjoy it, otherwise you hate it.
