Guitaring and fucked up relationships

wow old thread... (and i was mentioned AS TEH SUPARE SHREADDERE!! HOORAY)

Anyway, i was once engaged, and then told i couldn't talk to her because she had issues to sort out that, "don't worry, they have nothing to do with you". So that went on for 3 months and her brother told me she was fucking an old crush. Anyway, i suppose the engagement is off because she never spoke to me again and it's been a few years now.
 
well for me personally my guitar playing usually isn't the problem, actually i have had several relationships due to my guitar playing....instead the culprit is my lack of attention given to said women in those relationships mostly due to playing pc games etc. and just plain being bored with being with certain women,lol. but what i really can't stand is being with someone who does not like the same music as myself, that is a crusher! BTW im new here so if i fucked up, oh well:)
 
I strongly believe that one (or at least me) can write easily when he/she is a depressed or in pain. When you're pretty emotional, ideas just come in your head and it just comes out on guitar, it's more meainingful. Some of my favorite melodic riffs and clean parts have came from being depressed about some girl or in pain from what one has done in a previous relationship. Never does happiness in a relationship make me write happier stuff, it's always the stuff that pisses me off. As for my relationship now, I just bring the guitar into it...I play her the acoustic all the time. She actually encourages me to jam with my buddies when we hang out too much haha. I guess since she's a fan of music like myself (opeth) she doesn't mind.
 
depends on what kind of emotion i am feeling. if i am very stressed out and feel trapped, like dealing with an ex-g/f who won't see things my way, i can't write very well...but, if a girl breaks my heart, i feel inspired...i don't know. i'm fucking strange...i have really extreme mood swings all of the time...i go from extreme highs to extreme lows throughout the day...my playing all depends on what mood i am in.
 
I'll tell you a fucked up relationship.

My woman hated me playing the guitar. She'd make me feel guilty for playing. When she was here and I'd like to show her a song I wrote she got so annoyed it's not even funny. I felt like shit alot of the time except when I was fucking her. When that stopped, there was pretty much nothing else to it (not so much because the fucking, it was the fact she'd spend more time with other guys (namely my drummer) towards the end... hypocrite), so I went insane and broke up. We were together for a year and I really loved her. It hurts very very much to see her with my drummer now. :erk:

But since then, my guitar has been my new bitch 24/7 and I couldn't be happier. Happy end. :p
 
I haven't had any relationships that I would deem really fucked up, but it is true that when I get dumped, I start playing guitar a lot more because it keeps my mind off of it. I guess I just generally play a lot of guitar when I am sad. I figure if I become a master of my instrument, nothing can stand in my way.
 
I've never had a relationship. My work derives more from life - my failures, depression, as well as my triumphs... That's why the music I am writing now sounds so very odd. At times it sounds happy with fast riffs and blastbeats, and there are also the dark moments...

It's like 100 degrees here.... gawrsh.... *burns up*
 
Inspration can come in lot of ways and it can effect the lyrics and playing.It depends on the mood youre in.Sometimes i find good riffs after playing sometime,sometimes i find them when i pick the guitar and you can get the idea to write lyrics when you feel pain or depressed.
