I started playing the guitar because I was getting bored with playing the piano (however I kick myself now for quitting the piano). But, that's another post all in its self.
I try to do like you have all said and just write whatever I'm feeling down, but my problem is that I can't get any of my thoughts on paper. they all turn into a jumbled up mess when I think about how I'm going to put them down. I guess I need to try writing down random b.s. and when I get enough stuff down, try to piece things together. Again, thanks for all your help.
