Sometimes, not playing is just as important. Put the guitar down and take a
hike, let the melodies
in your head build, then go home and figure them out.
Another sure fire way to plow out the ruts is to try and learn something
completely different. Put
on a Duke Ellington record and try and pick up a few licks. Hell, there's only
12 notes right? You
can do it.
