Should I CONTINUE to play guitar? I've only played for two weeks worth of lessons when I was 15. I'm now 22?
I'm now 22, but I can get creative with band ideas and that the first one I can think of was a band idea for a post-grunge theme. But rock will always be my second favorite, next to real Heavy and Thrash Metal. Bands like the Big Four (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax) or bands like Judas Preist or Black Sabbath which is traditonal. But my first metal bands were Twisted Sister, Guns N Roses, Motley Crue, Kiss, and Areosmith. I've also liked Quiet Riot alot. But I have so much culture for Death and Thrash Metal, even though I sadly like bands that are considered emo and post-grunge. Should I get sad about it? I listen to all genres, including metal-core or deathcore when it comes to BMTH and Carnifex. But that's about all bands I listen to when it comes to like bands from Anal **** all the way down to bands like Creed. It I guess now just all depends on which bands have more skills or which have energy. Some melodic death is badass, but I can listen to Creed or something when I'm in a mood for listening to some Creed or Nickelback. That's why I stopped playing guitar, including I have no talent. But I can play air guitar alot. Hahah

As a guitarist of over 30 years, I don't recommend that you continue playing at this point in your life. Here's why...
You've got a taste for listening to music, but you don't seem to have any drive to create it. Playing guitar isn't something you should or shouldn't do, it's something you have to do. It's a basic human need, just like food or water or sex. If you have to ask someone else if you should continue playing guitar, that means you don't have any need to do it.
There is something in life that will make you happy and find your place, but guitar isn't it. Maybe ice skating, maybe you're a mad sculptor, maybe cooking, or maybe you're a novelist. I have no idea what your thing is, I just know you have one and the guitar isn't it.
There's something for everyone, but guitar isn't for you. You'd know if it was, and you'd know because you'd just know. You'll find it, and you'll know when you find it.

Musically you are obviously a very wise person. However, there is much more to life than listening to music.
