Yes, try playing some simple stuff with your mates,just simple rhythms,or leads ,etc, what improved my rhythm was playing "Velvet Undergound" (ie 2 chord wonders) and old 60s tunes,you usually find everybody has a different take and some simple thing will make you ears priick up and say "Nice" or "I can make that into..". Maybe dig out some old blues records and chase down their simple but "huh?" techniques. Maybe go for some new tones, we tried putting a cheap keyboard through some gtr fx pedals [getting a hammondy tone] and someone played that while i went a bit "Wayne Kramer" (sic).

When i'm fed up with reaching for the Page/Hendrix/Sumlin grails i get out the acoustic and strum some of my old chords..try messing about with "Tangerine" or "Thank you".

Lord. hope the wrist is healing well.
Accuracy,you say? hmm interesting concept..
