I hear ya. One thing you can be sure of is that this will pass. Anyone, at any time, can feel and think the way you are doing right now, even the people we idolize. This is less about playing the guitar and more about the human condition. It's about wanting what 'isn't' and not wanting what 'is.' Observed from a another perspective, it's clearly insane, but it is the way most of us live our lives. The fact is, what is, is. Anyone who wants to argue that is welcome to, but their argument will be insane. Think about what happens if you gratefully accept what is, without passing any judgement over its perceived value or even its meaning. It simply is. If you can do that, you will breathe a sigh of relief, and feel some peace. I'll be around over the weekend if you want to have a phone chat over iChat. I know you're a busy family man, so I'll leave it up to you, but I'll be here. Don't hesitate, and know that you won't be putting me out in any way. ~G~
