I always worry that whatever I happen to be focusing on currently (right now it's improving my technique, alternate picking, sweeping, etc.) will be forgotten if I stop playing for a few weeks for one reason or another.
Would you say improving technique is like riding a bike and you never really lose it once you work at it, or is it like an athlete who gets out of shape for a while and has to work hard to get back to it? I mean obviously you're not going to be 100% after a couple weeks off, but I guess what I'm asking is what do you think the rate of decline is for you guys, if you have one at all.
