Juggling instruments (accidentally posted this to help forum, sorry guys)

Talk about First World problems. Did you all stick to one instrument for a time before branching out to others? I’ve been jumping from one track to another for some time now. Just as I begin making progress on one, I get the itch to play the other. The net result is that I’ve made relatively little headway with any of them in the past year or so. :confused:

I’ve been practicing the banjo nearly every day and I feel like I’m finally BEGINNING to get somewhere, BUT my Martin is sitting neglected in its case. Silent. Jealous. Plotting against me. I fear I’ll wake up one of these nights to find myself garroted with medium-gauge string. Hell hath no fury…

Anything lost or gained by alternating instruments on a daily basis? How do multi-instrumentalists accomplish anything?

I say keep it going, it’s a slower yet cumulative growth.
