What drives you as a muscian?

...building a career is because of need to communicate with others, well, 99% sure he/she is bullshitting
i'm in that 1% then. By communication i mean connection, sharing my ideas with others and connecting their thoughts to mine, theirs to each other. i seek through music to increase our understanding of ourselves and each other.
 
Loving music. The thing that drives me as a guitarist is hearing other people doing cool things. It shows you someone is doing something similiar and it sounds good. It's about being influenced by someone else. You hear a guitarist that does something where you're like I wish I wrote that. Stuff like that keeps me playing guitar other than it being fun(most of the time). Sometimes you hit a dead end. Practicing is important, but bands can teach you what notes sound good,etc... when practicing you hit a dead end. Sometimes i've said im done playing guitar but can't quit. You eventually have a progression making it worthwhile.

The thing for me is it's more enjoyable to play alone. I need to adjust being effected by someone's else's playing and going with it which is something that's hard for me.
 
To one day be the best, to possibly be remembered as someone, and to influence others. Meh, the whole girls aspect isn't bad, either.
 
I just want to have a better life, I don't want to be some guy who has just sits on his ass and watches porn all day... I'd rather do something, something that makes me stand out, not be just one of the crowd. Some people focus on getting into college, but I like to look into the broader aspects of life. I want to be remebered, maybe talked about on message boards like these. I'm not trying to be self centered or anything like that, but I guess thats what society really demands from us... Hell, I'd rather die early and be remebered then live a long life and forgotten.
