Wow, the sound of improving is appealing :D I was in a good rut about 6 months ago, it was a bad one, but it was weird, one day I magically came out of it and my playing expanded to a whole new level. Maybe that will happen when I'm gone, hopefully. I think the thing I'm lacking most is theory, I should pick up a music theory book and read it on the trains and planes and stuff.. good idea guys, thanks.
