Enjoyed your message about THAT POINT where you don't even want to look at the guitar.Alot of good advice WILDWOMAN are you on the GT team or just a fellow guitarist? I have reached that point several times here recently an hate it. I'm new at this so for me I almost have to start over ,altho it does come back quicker. I had front row seat to see Clapton recently when he came to NC......I watched his fingers as they caressed the strings an I think I came back home an played for 2 days straight,he was amazing. Sadly I can't do that everytime I'm in a rut but I'll draw on that an some of your advice. Here's hoping to shake this rut an get to it again.
