When I reached the age of 20 years old, I stopped playing guitar. I literally decided I would not play anymore. I was going through a weird phaze back then. Believe it or not I stopped playing for 1 year. Also the reason why I stopped is cos I had no guitar, cos I was studying in a different country.

When I went back home, I started to play again :o I changed my mind.

I dont know why, but I could play better than ever. All the techniques I've ever practised was just the same with not much difficulty.

When I say stop for a few days or a week, I mean to rest your brain. It's amazing how the brain works. One day when you struggle to play something, the next day it seems to be easier. It's not your fingers doing the working. Your brain sends signals to your fingers in order for them to move and function properly. Getting sore fingers is one thing, take time off for that, but I mean take time to let things sink into your brain.

Trust me
