So musicians/composers...
What do you do when you're burned out?
“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”--John Rogers |

Burned out on music or just really tired in general? If the latter, in the sense that you're too tired for music?

Carry on until i fall asleep. I dont believe in being burned out as there are to many scales to play with.

Basically, I've burned out. It's not that I've lost interest, I just can't seem to put anything together. in fact, I want to be creating. Scales and such are fine, I can still perform, but it's the actual creation issue that I'm at a loss for. So it's not reall an "I don't want to do this" situation, just a "what can I do?" sitch.

If I want to write something and I can't come up with anything, I go to my archive of unused riffs, melodies, leads, etc. and try to do something with them. Sometimes I change them completely and end up writing more to it.

I just go and do something else for a bit to take a break, and then I play some cover songs I like.
More often than not summat comes together. |
