I am too lazy to look and see if this has already been posted (it probrably has) but since it was not in the "listed/ shown" pages, and I do not feel like trying about 15 different ways to search for it--- here goes.

We, guitarists like writers everyonce in while find ourselves ina "blocked" state. Like writers block.

Nothing sounds fresh or original, we are stale and seem to be playing the same stuff over and over again. ANDall of our ususal tricks weknow to pass this bloack or move onward to next level just don't seeem to be working.

What other ways of overcoming these obstacles do others use?

Here are a couple of the things I do to try to "break he block".

1) Take a break from the guitar (maybe as long as months)
2) Switch to the bass guitar or learn bass lines on the guitar.
3) Learn a different "style"
4) Find a new song book or lesson book and try to learn it with in one month.

What things do others do?
