For me, I continually watch and listen to new music and guitarists - If i practice the same things over and over and over every day, I will slowly lose interest in playing. Often I find that when i learn something half decent but hit a wall, if i come back to it in 6 months, I can break through that wall easier. It’s all about fresh perspective, every day.
Even if all I do is watch some YT videos from guitar channels i follow, that can be enough inspiration on a busy day. How about you all? What keeps the inspiration flowing?
Honestly it’s the silliest thing. I like just the tactile sensation of the strings under my fingers. Also I think that guitars just look really cool, so I just gravitate towards picking one up whenever I get a free moment in the apartment. This is why my guitar lives right next to my desk so I can see it and remember to play it frequently.
Agreed, having a guitar close and at the ready is like 80% of the battle as to whether I decide to play for a few minutes or not
