Re: help me

i went through a phase like that, its only just stopped.

you need to play live!

also learn how to play more than just you like, i got to a point where i could nail certain things, but then my guitar teacher made me try and play jazz and country - i got instantly (and still am) stumped. it brought the drive to become better back!

Re: help me

play what you thought you'd never play.
i got bored with playing heavy metal all of the time and now i'm into blues and *gasp* i've even ventured into the nu-metal sounding dropd riffs >.< (but i am NOT going further than that and that's definite) it's fun to play and even more fun when the other guitarists knows how to complement and fulfill your playing well.

Re: help me

I have the same problem as Shred. I'm just burnt out and feel like I have developed a creativity block. Not only that but the guitar riffs I do come up with just don't seem good enough to even bother improving them. I've been playing for 6 years but this is the second year I have been trying to compose my own music. Some people feel I'm way to hard on myself in general..... Are my standards for myself to high?

Re: help me

guys, you just have to let it sit around for a while. we all have creativity holes now and again. now you dont feel like touching the gutiar, but in a week you might pick up the guitar and start wailing like you never did before. having little breaks helps more often than not
