Fighting the burnout hard as I can
5 months in I know I'm an infant. But between owning 2 businesses, having a couple other minor hobbies, I don't think I'll ever be at a level with this where I can play with some sort of group and be satisfied. I have a teacher but the material doesn't align with old time really or anything I find enjoyable so I don't think that's helping. It's almost getting to the point where playing feels like a chore. Can't figure out how to loosen up my right hand/arm. Everythings slightly out of tune. Bow bouncing. Anything at tempo is near impossible for me. How do you keep the burnout feelings from creeping on and at what point time wise did you get to where you could play stuff that sounds like music? Everything on this requires so much focus that I can't relax and play something that sounds effortless.. okay whiny baby rant over.
