I never really had a motivation issue when I was gigging. The gig provided all the motivation. But now it is difficult to play and study regularly because there is no reckoning. I also have little desire to do a gig, and only do one when someone calls. Lately those calls have been for electric guitar. It's ironic, when I was younger and full of desire to perform I didn't have the money for the best gear. Now I'm older and can afford whatever, and I have little desire to perform. I'd have killed 30 years ago for the stuff that sits mostly unused in my house today. But I still love flamenco, jazz, good guitar playing in general, and I'm breaking in a new guitar-at my leisure. There are some things that are really bad for flamenco guitar playing. Never realized BJJ was one of them. Bowling is another. Sure you can play a few games, but if you bowl for hours, you might not be able to do a rasgueado for days. Surfing regularly in 50 degree water hasn't been the best for my playing, but for me it's more fun than playing guitar so oh well.
