idle time....

I've got way too much time on my hands lately....up until last year I did alot of studio engineer jobs, all freelance, and that suited me just fine, mainly because it is always a learning experience....working your way through a project, another artists project, where you try and capture the true essence of their performances...After nearly 10 yrs of doing those jobs for money or not, i have become quite pleased with my proficiency within a recording studio...i know that i could walk into any set up, anywhere in the world, and at a moments notice get down to business....
The trouble is though, i was getting bored....i was starting to get annoyed at the prospect of hearing the same songs a thousand times...and i just couldn't put my heart into it...so now I am trying to put all my energy into becoming a guitarist of some sort.
I have 'strummed' acoustic guitar rhythmically for many years, just like campfire stuff, or neil young, and my own acoustic covers of my favorite hardcore ( i play a mean "wasted again" by black flag Cover on my acoustic) But now I want to be able to pick up that electric guitar, and not have to think about what i am playing, just enable the instrument to become an extension of my body, and play it like it's a reflex action...
I can do anything i set my mind to when i am playing with my synthesizers, even though i program my sequencers, firstly i noodle away on the keyboard, and then record the performance into the midi sequencer, and play that back while I noodle further, adding missing notes, or arpeggios...and on and on, layers tones, upon tones, and it usually sounds pretty cool...
Guitar is another situation all together, and I think that's why I have become obsessive about it, neglecting the synths to practice and practice and practice guitar.... Like I have mentioned in previous posts, I always utilize a myriad of electronic effects, both analogue and digital....spending hours, upon hours, of tedious experimentations before I settle on the final sound.
If only i could play wicked riffs like my roomate!
maybe someday.
