Honing In

I’ve been paring down my guitar pedalboard. I want less. I want to do what I need to do still, but endless options are dragging me down.

I’ve got my pedalboard down to the most spare I’ve had it in years. It’s been nice, I’ve been having more fun playing than I have in years. I have to use other means to change my sound up. My volume knob, tone knob, playing technique! And using all functions on the pedals that are left.

I think in life we distract ourselves with too many options. We want options, right? Keep all paths open? Why commit when we may change our mind later?

It’s nice to settle in once and awhile. Commit to little. And do your best with what you have, be creative, and get good at it.
