If you have riff ideas, you can always try humming them into your phone to record them. I think as long as you capture the essence of the idea, you'll be able to capture better on your guitar later. Ideas like that are very fleeting...I've had them disappear in seconds. You get interrupted and poof, they are gone.

Hm... I could do that. Or perhaps I could try writing down the riffs as tab and play them when I get home. I've had a bit of luck with that in the past, so I think it's worth a shot :)

I actually find it surprisingly easy to get back to "real life". It really just feels like it's some sort of routine that's continued in my head while I was away for the last 3 months (10 weeks of which was spent in the least inspiring place I've ever been stuck in...). It's actually quite liberating, to be honest...

Well, now that I'm back home, let's see if I can remember any of the cool riffs I came up with...
