i'll own up to listening to music differently when i first started playing an instrument. then again i also used to think that being able to play an instrument really mattered. i paid more attention to the guitar since it's what i was learning and relatively obsessed with, it became more of a number challenge (not unlike the diablo series of video games).

once i got over the competitiveness / quantitative elements of playing an instrument i was able to relax and go back to listening to the music i heard as opposed to the instrument i played. i think it's a matter of personal perspective and attitude as opposed to something everyone goes through when they pick up an instrument.
