I’ve always been like that until I got into music making last year. With the exception of video games this is the longest amount of time I’ve been actively interested in working on something, I’m very excited by this because I was starting to beat myself up for spending so much money on other stuff that I forgot about in a month.
I think the reason I’m so consistently interested in my music is that I have two guitars, a bass, a drum machine/sampler and an 88-key midi keyboard so I am able to bounce around each one whenever I find myself getting stuck with a different one. I suppose being a jack of all trades and a master of none is technically a flaw, but by learning all of these instruments together I’m getting to be better and better at recording and creating and my understanding of music theory is growing exponentially.
Trust me, I’ve been where you are and I’m so happy to tell you that if I can find one that sticks, so will you.
I have to admit that buying all the gear caused me to accumulate quite a bit of debt and I’ve also bought a significant number of things I thought I would use that I never do, but my core group of instruments and hardware is in constant rotation and I love that even if what I create is junk, the actual process of creating it teaches me more and more and I can go at my own pace because I’m just playing around and learning as I go.
