Yep, sorry to hear of yer rough times there dude. And yes, going through that rut, on the spot choke, and near retardation of the fingers is common for us all. Just last night I was on my porch practicing a hard passage of a song, got it down repeatedly, then went inside to show my wife...totally choked, and for no good reason. It's not like I'm nervous to play for her. Same thing recording. But cut, drag, and paste helps a little there, if you're doing it digitally.
