Write a fucking song about how you don't feel the inspiration from music like you used to.

Keep your stuff as long you dont need the money and have room. You could be inspired tomorrow, next year or five years from now, and when that happens, you will appreciate having the equipment there and not having to hunt down what you like.

Learn something really difficult, write a new song or an album. write a song about how you feel. No matter whether its happy or sad or frightened or despondent, you can make music communicate any emotion you want. You can make people happy or sad or melancholy, you can leave them feeling unresolved, which seems to be how you feel.

If you practice every day you will play better and maybe be able to learn to play new things that excite you. Express your frustration with the guitar, express your rage, express your joys, express your regret. Tell a story. Rip on your friends idiocy. Celebrate your highlight days.

I love this advice. Plus, you're in music city. That place is like being an actor in Hollywood. It can be soul sucking to have talent but he "over it" when you see the reality of the biz isn't what you expect, or the price to play isn't worth the effort.

I would suggest teaching people what you know... Music, or recording. It's fulfilling, and may re-inspire you. Work with people who couldn't afford you. Help a struggling musician from behind the scenes. Volunteer. Help out a church that has crappy music. (I know one out there if you need a referral...lol...their music will make your ears bleed!)

The abilities you have honed are priceless. Just because you honed them in rough times doesn't mean they're useless in good times.
