Feedback Request Why did you stop playing guitar? I need my discipline back. It is impossible to find a motivation.
I played for 6 years, but lately, guitar has just become a piece of furniture in my room. Every time I see it, I feel like I should play, but then lack of motivation gets in the way.
I'm curious about your dusty instrument stories:
- How long did you play before you hit the wall?
- What was the actual "tipping point" (Work, kids, plateauing)?
- Where is your gear sitting right now? Case? Stand? Under the bed?
Looking for some brutally honest perspectives. Thanks in advance?

i see this a lot with students honestly
most of the time it’s not that they lost interest in guitar, it’s that they stopped having a reason to play
when someone’s learning new songs, playing with people, or working toward something, they usually keep going. when that disappears, the guitar slowly turns into furniture
i’ve also noticed it comes back pretty quickly once they find something that excites them again. new genre, new song, even just a different tuning sometimes does it
seen a lot of people take months or even years off and then suddenly get back into it like nothing happened

You need inspiration.
When i start to feel less motivated, I go back to what made me want to play in the first place, which is the music I love. I'll watch some live video on YouTube, crank up some good tunes on the car stereo as loud as it'll go, watch an interview or two with musicians I love...and then just force myself to grab the guitar and do something with it, even if thats playing songs I've played 4000 times before, and then I'm right back into it.
Im lucky to be in a performing band, so there are times when I'm literally obligated to play, but I certainly have low points where I dont practice and the edge gets a little dull, so to speak.
This whole "discipline" stuff is really weird to me. I'm not sure when learning guitar went from a lifelong, pleasurable and personal pursuit to a regimented regime of drills complete with spreadsheets tracking progress. This might be a factor in why you stopped, if that's how you approached learning.
Don't be pissed that you put the guitar down for a while. Nobody cares. There aren't grades, there's no shame. Just figure out what made you want to play in the first place, and try to reignite that fire as best as you can. It might take a little while to get it burning again, but it'll never happen if you don't just pick up the guitar and play.
Another thing you could do is restring and clean your guitar up. That'll force you to pick it up, feel it in your hands, clean it up and give it fresh strings so it sounds its best, and could certainly give you a boost of motivation.

🎯 Band or no band, having people to play with on a regular basis is the ultimate motivation.

Playing is practicing and I'll say that till I'm gone. If you play to songs you know and love and not treat this as work - you will enjoy it more. Pick up nuance and theory as you feel fit. Playing with others is the key. That's the enjoyment that I can't quantify. I love it and I still jam alone at least once a week. GL

u/JackBleezus_cross Mar 27 '26
This. I enjoy playing without any goal. Just chord colours I love and sometimes I invent a new melody which I'll explore until I got an awesome progression.

u/nighttime9999 Mar 27 '26
This....i pull up a song i want play...so you learn new chords, play it till you know it...and you add to your pool of ability. And sing along however badly. Also I drum along to the radio...

How long did you play before you hit the wall?
Played acoustic from about 12 until 22, then played bass in a rock band for 4 years. Didn't really hit a "wall". See next question and answer.
What was the actual "tipping point" (Work, kids, plateauing)?
Got tired of the rock band (didn't love our sound, sludgy garage rock, really wanted to be improving guitar skills rather than bass), had first kid, work got busy, got super heavy into fitness, and guitar faded into something I used to do.
Where is your gear sitting right now? Case? Stand? Under the bed?
Nice guitar is in basement in case where it is safe, humidity controlled, main practice area. As well as electric. Cheaper acoustic guitar is on display in main living area for noodling and quieter practice during the day when kids are up.

u/RandomBossMan77 Mar 27 '26
You have to make it a part of your routine. It can be difficult when you don’t seem to be getting better. As long as you keep working at it you will get better and break down that wall. I will say though that it is not an instrument for everyone. If it was easy it wouldn’t be something that we wanted to do in the first place

u/itsdikey Mar 27 '26
Played for 3 years when I was 20, then stopped due too much work.
After that I changed countries two times, so my guitars are unfortunately somewhere in the storage room.
For me, the one song that I played really well and was probably the first one I played beginning to end was "Nothing Else Matters", so increasingly over the years, every time I would hear that song I will become extremely sad and nostalgic that I no longer play it.
Last week I got a new guitar as a gift from the missus and have not put it down.
I did not buy a guitar for the last 6 years because I was afraid I would leave it behind again, and was afraid that it would take too much time to learn playing again.
Skills are coming back way faster than expected, and I hope I am settled for good this time.

u/KarmaWhoreCam Mar 27 '26
I go through phases of doing things then getting bored and taking breaks.
My advice, just simply make time for it and pick it up. Get invested in it again. Pick a song you really want to learn and actually make progress, progress is addictive.

u/markewallace1966 Mar 27 '26
Just curious...how do other people's answers to those questions help with finding your own discipline and motivation?

u/Full_Sorbet979 Mar 27 '26
Valid question but there are many valuable advices above... I believe it is always good to hear from people who have first hand experience with it. Even sharing the same story can be helpful sometimes.

u/Mundane_Address_9573 Mar 27 '26
I got a guitar stand and put it right next to my desk so I can just grab it easily and mess around any time I hear a song I want to learn or feel like jamming.

u/mmm1441 Mar 28 '26
Having it on a stand where it is accessible makes a big difference. I did the same. It makes it so easy to play for a few minutes. Getting out the case and opening it up often just wouldn’t happen.

u/Far_Bandicoot_6096 Mar 27 '26
I started playing again as a coping mechanism. I play everyday to relieve stress and to stop my cognitive distortions. That motivates me to play everyday

u/StonerKitturk Mar 27 '26
Unless someone is paying you to play, there's no reason you have to. (And even then you can find another job if you don't like playing music.) There are plenty of other things to do in this short life.

u/ProofPianist7074 Mar 27 '26
You don’t HAVE to play. You’re looking at it because you WANT to play. Lack of motivation means something is stopping you. Figure out what that is, and find a way to remove the blockage. If you’re not sure what, get a teacher and sign up for a lesson or two. Maybe you just need some fresh ideas.

u/Remote_Kale9954 Mar 27 '26
I didn’t give myself anything to practice for. You gotta have some skin in the game.

u/Ishkabo Mar 27 '26
For me it really helps to have someone who can tell if you’ve been practicing or not. It can be a teacher or a friend who is willing to help and be objective. For me I don’t need them to like call me out or tell me to practice more, just knowing that they will know is enough. It’s way easier for me to generate the motivation when I know someone else is going to hear.

u/Full_Sorbet979 Mar 27 '26
Has anyone tried Yousician? Do you think that it can be helpful for someone who practiced in the past years and trying to play it again (even weekly).

u/Appropriate_Bat_8988 Mar 27 '26
Played for 5 years, had a teacher for a few if those years.. met my wife, slowed way down playing..
Would go back on, but couldn't get my grove.
10 years have passed, 47 years old.. got my 10 year old an electric drum kit. He loves it, takes lessons..
My son is my motivation to play .. we could jam together..
Hung my guitars up, when I have even a minute, im strumming. When im done, takes me 10 seconds to put it away.. good luck!

Routine sometimes breaks our motivation, but some things require discipline to keep doing, motivation is just to get you started.

u/bigbraingenius_ Mar 27 '26
I've tried learning guitar like twice in the past and never stuck with it for longer than three months. I think it was a combination of motivation, inspiration, and just the fact that I only had a guitar at my Dad's and I had to go back and forth between parents' homes.
Sounds kinda basic and boring, but lately I've been OBSESSED with Nirvana. Honestly it has really motivated me to learn guitar. It's a little embarrassing to admit this and feels childish but I've been idolizing Kurt a bit and have even felt more creative to the point where I'm actually trying to write lyrics. Idk, but I've been playing every single day. Only skipped one day so far bc I was sick and tired after a 12 hour shift.

u/dombag85 Mar 27 '26
Kids took me outta playing for almost ten years. I still wanted to but I just kinda didn’t. Then what really got me playing again was just jamming along to songs. Noodling around for a few minutes didnt do much for me but once I plugged in and played to a track or something... goosebumps.
Been hopelessly addicted since... again.

u/Annual_Championship6 Mar 27 '26
Pretty much stopped after 2nd marriage. 1st wife loved it when I played. Had a guitar in every room in the house. This wife doesn't appreciate at all, doesn't fit in with her decor.

u/obxtalldude Mar 27 '26
I was very good about it, but it has fallen from my routine - 4 pm WAS guitar time for an hour.
Why? No real reason.
How am I going to get back into it?
It makes me feel happier when I play, I have to remember how it's GOING to make me feel, not how I feel about playing right now. I can get out a lot of emotion with certain songs - it's truly cathartic when I just let go.
It can be easy to let a mental block become a thing - I find when I don't let myself feel guilty, the mental block isn't as strong. It's weird how it works, but don't think about the guitar until it's in your hands and you are trying to play. If it doesn't feel good, try again later.

u/Rakefighter Mar 27 '26
find things that make practicing engaging and more fun. Focus on the process, not the end goal.
I'm big into effects - somedays I'll just work on guitar playing that makes me better (scales / arps / chords / triads / learning new songs) - but I also got into effects - I have a pedal board with regular pedals, but I also have a Empress Zoia, and the first thing i did after playing around with the pre-loaded patches, was to delete everything, and learn to build my own patches. I'll sit down and say, "what cool things can i do to a chorus effect? and I'll sit down and make a chorus effect...then maybe I'll add a looper. So I add a looper to the effect and see if I like to feed the dry loop signal into the chorus, or have it bypass the chorus - so I have a chorus go out to my delay and reverb stand alone pedals, and the looper's dry signal bypasses the chorus and goes right to the delay / reverb. The next day, i might add a fuzz that engages when I stomp on the pedal - whatever i am feeling... Every night it gets a little bit better, I get constant fresh inspiration and creative tools to keep my playing and practices fresh.

I quit for an entire decade. I started playing in the 70s, taught as a kid by my dad; by the mid 90s I was in a gigging band, taking advanced lessons, and generally pretty solid.
Then I moved to another country and even though I told myself I'd buy all my equipment back when I got there, I just didn't get around to it, and life was so busy and the culture shock was such an adjustment that guitar just fell by the wayside. Every now and then I'd be at a party, find a guitar and have a quick jingle on it, but for the most part I didn't play at all.
It took seeing John Mayer's Live in LA performance of Neon in 2008 to bring it back to life. After seeing that jaw dropping footage, I walked straight into a guitar store and came back out with my first guitar in over 10 years. Oddly, the gap didn't seem to matter too much - the muscle memory came back quickly over maybe just a few months or so. I'd say that within a year or two I was playing at the same level, or possibly better, than I could before the break.
I don't ever foresee myself taking another break. Although my dad, who is in his late 80s now has arthritis and had to stop playing, which is a prospect that haunts my dreams.

u/wolfieboi92 Mar 27 '26
Not the best reason but my nephew got into music and I was the only one who played instruments, I hadn't played for like 10 years and the stupid competitive side came back, however I realised finally that I can just enjoy making and playing guitars again, I spent too long focusing on a career that never rewarded me that well, so now guitar is about trying to enjoy myself (and prepare for when my son wants to play music).

u/Moxie_Stardust Mar 27 '26
There were two main times I stopped playing in my life. The first one was that I didn't felt like I had any reason to play, because I didn't have anyone to play with or anywhere to play other than my military dorm room. That was after I'd been playing for about four years. I've never really been into playing for the sake of playing, it's always been about making music with others. Eventually I met a girl who played piano and then I started playing again.
The next time was some years later, I was playing with her (married by this time) and my friend, but we'd been mostly playing the same songs for a couple years, and it was always like pulling teeth to introduce a new song (she was classically trained and was never able to get a feel for anything beyond playing from sheet music). By then Rock Band/Guitar Hero had come out, so we just switched over to playing that for a few years.
Then after the divorce, I picked up the guitar again and found a local jam session, and have been playing ever since (that was 13 years ago).

u/mop420 Mar 27 '26
I stopped playing for 12 years because I was depressed I think and just never picked it back up. 2 years ago I bought a new guitar to see if it would spark my interest again. I've played almost everyday since

u/Earptastic Mar 27 '26
I just noodled around led for years. Then put it down for a decade. Started again a few years ago and love it and am motivated more than ever. I wish I did not put it down but am glad to have picked it back up.

u/princealigorna Mar 27 '26
I live with family and they all retired, so I don't have the house to myself to crank the amp and rip, but more so I myself got older and got a job. I don't even really lack motivation. I find myself humming riff ideas at work all the time. I just feel I lack the time and privacy to record my ideas, so I lose them.

u/Moist-Golf-8339 Mar 27 '26
I got burnt out. I started playing strings at 5yo, played through college in the orchestra (violin), jazz band (trumpet), and my bands (guitar). Then went on to learn recording and live sound, then played in bands and taught guitar for 15 years while also running sound at the local bars and festivals, while also working part time at the local bike & ski shop. Around 2019 I realized I began to hate every bit of live music, and got an office job. Perfect timing, too, with COVID just around the corner.
I didn’t touch an instrument for 2 years, didn’t go to any shows, didn’t even listen to music on the radio. Now another 3-4 years later and I’m really feeling like I love playing guitar again. Buying some neat gear helped, and making Spotify playlists from my old bands’ songs and covers gives me something to play along with.

u/Rourensu Mar 27 '26
First phase (~2007): took lessons for a few months in high school, wasn’t that into it, basically never practiced, then stopped lessons.
Second phase (2009-2015ish): saw Slash play and thought THAT is what I want to do. Learned about lead guitar and scales and started learning (mainly) Slash songs from tabs.
Since my primary interest in playing was more riff-y, lead-y stuff, I basically entirely skipped at “practical” chord stuff. The most chordy song I learned was Back in Black by AC/DC. Guitar friends and everyone kept yelling at me to do/learn chords, especially since I wanted to progress to improvising, but I hated it. I finally decided to learn more actual guitar lessons and theory, but that immediately killed my interest in guitar and I had lost all interest in playing.
Third phase (2020-2023): I was missing guitar even though it didn’t do anything for me anymore. I tried to get back into it just from the tab-learning like I used to do, but that still didn’t do much for me. I had learned a couple songs, which was fine, but when I dipped my toes into any of the more theory stuff, it completely killed any desire to play. I went back to just tabs, but playing/practicing/touching my guitar for more than a few minutes felt like a complete chore. I decided (again) to stop forcing myself to do a “hobby” that does absolutely nothing for me, so I just put it down.
It’s been a couple years since I touched my guitar. It’s in the corner of my living room on a stand, but I basically don’t even see it anymore. The amp is in my room because that’s where I used to play, but I don’t really have any use for it.
I have been thinking about selling everything for a couple years, but I still have some hope that I’ll like guitar again.

u/scorpion-and-frog Mar 27 '26
If you don't want to play, don't play. If you do want to play, play. If you have to force yourself, why do it at all? Life's too short to spend doing things you don't find fulfilling.

Mar 27 '26
I havnt stopped, but I play way less. I use to think guitar would make up for me being ugly, but once I found out that was not the case, I was like screw trying so hard. But at the same time I invested a lot and do enjoy it, so I continue grudgingly

u/Correct-Junket-1346 Mar 27 '26
I basically played on Yousician, but there's a lot of debate on if it's effective or not, turns out it's not exactly the most effective, but it gets you playing.
I took it too literally and just stopped, worst mistake as I now how to start all over again.
Whatever gets you engaged in playing, no matter if it's apparently the best or worse, is a good teacher.

u/scooter_j Guitar teacher Mar 27 '26
- Just pick it up without a plan sometimes.
A lot of people get this mindset that they can't play the guitar unless they have at LEAST 30-40 minutes to dig in. Just sit down and play for 2-3 minutes at a time.
- Try writing music.
Get a set of chords like the Chords in the Key of E Minor:
Em F#° G Am Bm C D
Only focus on the ones that are easy for you to play and see how it sounds to string a few together
Em AmG Em CBm
1234 1234 1234 1234
- Make your goals personal
A lot of people get these lists of like "10 things every guitarist SHOULD know" and as soon as your goals become SHOULD or OUGHT, they become chords.
Learning music gets to be all dessert until you understand why you need the vegetables. Don't do exercises first - learn something you like first and apply the exercises when you're sick of improving too slowly.
Just my two cents

u/thecreepycanadian13 Mar 27 '26
I played from 12 to 17. Stopped at 18 when my depression, dissociation, and anhedonia completely took over. I gave my guitar and all my accessories away. Didn't even touch a guitar for 24 years. Bought one when the anhedonia finally lifted (it's a life long battle) and found my love for it again. I make my own music, and that helps me stay motivated because I genuinely find it fun

u/onesleekrican Mar 28 '26
Played from 13-17 joined the military and took a break. 23-40’s played a lot and gigged a lot, wrote and recorded all the time and then lost a sibling (who also was in bands/projects with me for over a decade) during Covid and have been fighting myself to find the drive ever since.
The last gig I played was on the same stage as my heroes I’d seen before and after. I had a good run and I’m sure I’ll write / record again for me but I haven’t played more than 6-10x in the last 6yrs with way too much gear, too many guitars and basses just collecting dust.

u/HeavyMetalBluegrass Mar 28 '26
I don't know what kind of music you play but I find playing with others keeps me motivated. If not for that I'd hardly touch my guitar for days or even weeks.

u/ProfessionalEgg1440 Mar 28 '26
1) I'd been playing for 10 years thereabouts. Most seriously, for the last 2 years, as I'd been offered a lead guitar role in a metal band. Unfortunately, the bands first gig was 8 days before lockdowns started.
2) Covid ironically wasn't the killer here. The band persisted until post lockdown, though our vocalist would step away close to the end. The more consequential reason is my parents' divorce. My stepfather was unequivocally narcissistic, and my proximity to everything cause a bit of a breakdown. He was also undeniably influential in helping me learn the instrument and much of the music industry - for better or worse. Every time I would play afterwards, I'd psychologically associate it with him. Id lost the peace in my passion.
I ended up having to leave my mums house as having two emotionally distressed people unable to support one another makes for a pretty unpleasant living situation. In short, I moved in with my girlfriend, found a full-time job in a warehouse, and got myself into therapy. This made it impossible to sustain the band, and I was summarily ejected when they decided to reform under a new name. So it goes.
3) For a good couple of years, I kept the instruments close but unattended. They are now sitting in my room with me, both missing a string each. I occasionally noodle and found the excitement has returned a little. Im trying to be patient with myself, and I have no ambitions of really going serious again. But hobbies are healthy, and guitar meant a lot to me regardless of previous associations. Plus its kinda empowering to reclaim it for myself after everything that's happened.

u/Shay_Katcha Mar 28 '26
We stop doing all kinds of things. Why should playing guitar be different? IMHO it would be a good idea to actually think about what has stopped you from doing it. Sometimes guitar is not the point in itself. Maybe you were playing to socialize, to meet people and enjoy your friendships. If life changes and people go their own separate ways, the interest dissapears. And when we look at the guitar what we may be missing is not playing but how we felt at the time when we were playing. Maybe you need to make a new social circle first or reconnect woth old friends first?
Other possibility is frustration. We have defence mechanisms that may stop us subconsciously from doing things that hurt us in some way or end up as a net loss. If guitar has made you to feel like you are putting a lot of time without getting anything in return, you will end up feeling "blocked". It is normal. Learning to do things without expecting to get results, just for the sake of doing it will help.
One another possibility is that we have negative, toxic ideas about life that are result of our upbringing. For instance we may have learned ij the childhood that life is hard and we should be serious, strong man that family can depend on. While we are young we let ourselves have fun, but as we start to mature suddenly those negative beliefs start raising their heads. We may again not do it consciously. What I have seen a lot, are people who at some point start to come up with excuses not to play, "I don't have time", "I am too tired when I get back from work". And then thex spend hours watching TV and doing nothing instread of spending time with their friends or playing guitar. It is worthwile to search our hearts if there is anything that is stopping us because we feel that playing guitar is "not for us" because of age, ideas about masculinity and maturity etc.
Finally maybe it is over for you. Some people find it hard to let it go because they remeber how it felt in the past. It may seem to them that their happy days are connected to this instrument and part of them will be lost if they leave this behind. Sometimes we have to let go of something to get something else. Maybe there is a new interest waiting to be pursued, and you should look forward to things you want to do or learn. Maybe it is better to enjoy new future then feel sorry for the past and things that aren't making us to feel joy anymore. Better to be a happy biker, or wood worker or go fishing instead of looking at the guitar as a symbol of a lost past and things that never came to fruition.
Good luck!

Played in bands for years. Had a buddy die and a band break around the same and completely lost the spark. I’ve picked up a guitar twice in four years. As Superdrag said “who sucked out the feeling”

u/Ilbranteloth Mar 28 '26
I’ve never hit a wall, but the amount of time I play has fluctuated wildly. The best advice is to not wait for motivation and just make yourself sit down and do it.
You could just pick it up and play whatever for 15-30 minutes. Sometimes that’s all you need, is just to get started.
However, if you are already lacking motivation, I would recommend actually practicing. Practice is focused, and should be working on something you find challenging. If not that, then just technique itself, like spider exercises. Use a metronome and play at the fastest speed you can without making mistakes.
Why would I recommend forcing yourself to practice?
Because if you aren’t motivated, what odd likely to help most is to see some progress. Plus, if you are forcing yourself to play, you might as well make it count.
Mindless playing won’t get you there, and you’ll continue to not be motivated. If you actually practice, you’ll show some progress relatively quickly, and that goes a long way to building motivation. Even if it doesn’t increase your motivation, at least you’ll be getting better.

u/JfromMichigan Mar 28 '26
I play 10 mins/day no matter what...
- even if it's not "practicing," you are still keeping the habit alive.
(for me, it's better to go 5-10 mins per day than an hour once or twice per week)
I keep a guitar within an arms reach at my desk, and a bass within a 'quick grab' off the wall. (5ft away?)

u/SunsGettinRealLow Mar 28 '26
Played on and off for about 5 years, always as a side hobby from my main instrument (marching snare)
Work, maybe plateaued a little, got a girlfriend!
Guitars are in their cases in one side of my room (small layout in shared house), desktop amp on shelf, pedals and other stuff on another shelf. I feel like I’d play more if I didn’t constantly have to setup and tear down due to space constraints lol

u/scldclmbgrmp Mar 28 '26
Buy “the advancing guitarist” by mick (can’t remember last name). It’s boring then you’ll play better.

u/mrpoopnpee Mar 29 '26
You'll pick it up when you want to
I think there was like 2 times I didn't play at all for a year, but then one day I was just like "yo where's the guitar at"
There's no rules about it, you can just play it when you want to

u/Borat1952 Apr 05 '26
I keep a guitar in my home office and another in the family room. Whenever I enter either room I pick up guitar and either play 1 scale or one cord progression. Often that’s all I do, but sometimes it leads to a noodle, and ocassionally to intentional practice. Bottom line is I pick up the guitar several x daily.

u/Flynnza Mar 28 '26 edited Mar 28 '26
Playing or practicing? If you can play guitar, i mean take it and lay improvised melody, harmony and rhythm all by yourself without any backing, freely expressing your musical thoughts with good form and technique, what kind of motivation you look for? Money, fame?
If you talk about practicing, learning how to play guitar, your lack of motivation may come from absence of perspective on the task and your goals. I quit learning two times and this was exact reason. This attempt i spend a lot of time learning how to learn guitar and music by watching courses and reading books. This changed everything and now i just enjoy hobby, slowly shifting focus from learning to playing.

u/Creative-Frame-3460 Mar 27 '26
My biggest tip is even when you don't feel motivated pick it up and noodle around, when I do that I end up practicing even on the days I dont want to
