...go on a whim, try whatever strikes you at any moment - otherwise you're just another lame Yngwie, playing the same song 14,000 times and not really progressing one step///even though trying to play pretty freely and randomly can also set you into a repetitive rut...when that happens, don';t just sit there thinking of you to break it...do something else for a day or two, otherwise if you don't "progress" while still trying to every day, you wil remain a little "defeated", and giving yourself just a bit of time to relax, maybe a few days, maybe a week, then coming back, you'll have forgotten all about how you'd "plateaued"...
...analysis, analogy, these are all anal/reverse-mechanisms...don't stick your finger up your ass to forsee how your next session will come out ("setting goals")...prediction is the same as predetermined limitation...f@ck that...goals are alright for one thing - technique, but that is the same as having a goal of being another Yngwie or another whoever - only without goals can you actually achieve something...
