doesnt have to be just one thing, feel free to pour ur heart out.

Being able to create music that I really like and share it with people that hopefully like it as much as I do.

i'd like to get inside this answer, cuz i share the same sentiment but wanna take a deeper look if u will..

what is it about liking it and sharing it with people who like it, that we love so much?

Being able to post at WHAT DO U LOVE MOST ABOUT BEING A MUSICIAN?' threads

1. playing music
2. when my hands express my heart
3. knocking out symphonies with a hundred other people, its like lifting off in a great spaceship
4. learning, feeling, listening to music from the inside

Dislike?

1. neck problems
2. paranoia that my instrument will get sat on

It brings us into the flow of the universe.

The interaction that happens when you play with other musicians. When it works well, it's almost telepathic.

seeing hot women on the dance floor shaking it to my basslines.

I love all of the groupies, the teenage sex parties, limos and the catered hollywood partys that I go to...

Expressing freely

Am I a musician? No lol

* Making ppl feel happy and relaxed while they listen 2 music
* The special link created with other musicians. The joy of sharing experiences and sensations
* The freedom of music...
* Living the life as u were in a song
* Speaking with a language that only particularly sensitive ppl can understand (Prince 4 example, etc... )

it's always a handy excuse for whenever you're unemployed.

The sex! No I'm just kidding. We all really enjoy listening to music right? So take that and add a little extra enjoyment and you've got the reason we like playing music. I look at it as something I have to do, I'm driven to do. I'll go crazy if I don't do it. It's not about being a star whitch I obviously am not....

I love how music comes out of me when I feel anything.

I love the rhythm of life and being able to tune in when I need a beat.

I love how no matter where you go on the planet it's the common thing we all share as a language and I speak it.

I love being able to make a song.

Crafting the thing - the hook, the rhythm.

I love the jump from the spark of an idea to a finished song. (of course, "finished" is always a flexible concept).

I love how I'm never bored - there's always some new groove or lick to play.

I love interacting with awesome musicians and you fall into a groove - it's like telepathy among the players.

I love the excitement I get when I see a new "guitar toy" on the market. Now, if I only had the money to purchase the toy...

I love how I can express myself totally on my instrument and the fact that it's always there for me.

I love the whole songwriting, recording process.

I love sitting on the edge of my bed, just playing me geetar as I watch some trivial crap on television

I love the smell of fresh guitar strings in the morning!
