Guitar Influences Beyond the Strings

Post by Leeacoustic81 »

Hey everyone, I've been thinking a lot about where we draw our inspiration from as guitarists. It's easy to point to bands or guitarists that influence our playing, but what about other forms of creativity? For example, I've been really inspired by some of the books I've read lately and how they evoke strong emotions. I find myself trying to translate those feelings into my playing.

So, I'm curious, have any of you found inspiration outside of music? Maybe from art, literature, or even films? How do those influences shape your guitar playing or songwriting? Would love to hear your thoughts!
