Don't forget to just play

I'm playing but eveything I play sounds the same. There's a definite plateau.

I am in that boat as well, so I am trying to change it up a bit.
Been in many of these ruts throughout the years, but I am still trying to learn the things that make mad, and when it’s not fun ,, I try something else with the same pattern in a different vibe, and when you are only playing by yourself , there is no one to knock ideas or changes with, but you all have seen my slop, it’s all over this forum, hopefully I can get better at it , and AT I think I have something for your other thread !!
Cheers

Well, My original point in this thread was to ditch practicing for a little while, and just play something for fun without worrying if it is correct, or "good enough" or whatever. Just to turn off your brain, and put your fingers on the strings. Maybe experiment a little bit.

It has gone off the rails and become all about practice. :hijacked:

Amps and Cabs I know I have heard in concert.

Ampeg, Marshall, Hiwatt, Eden, GK, Hughes and Kentnor, Mesa, Matchless, Mark Bass, Fender, Trace Elliot and VOX for sure. But no one I know in person has played their Vox or Orange for me.

Some times the amps you see at a concert are just for show. The real amp may be hidden away off stage or even be a pedal board direct to the sound board.

Ooops sorry buddy :cool:
 
This thread might have gotten to me.

For the past few days I have just been playing. Rediscovered an old bunch of riffs I smashed together in some ugly medley that I used to use as a sort of warmup before jamming. Then something happened and I came up with a couple riffs that I've been building on and I might actually have something going on finally.
 
I will say this: I have come up with some very interesting riffs and chord progressions in the past by trying to learn a song, getting it wrong, and in the process discovering something different.

That is what I should be shooting for as well.
I also need to look at some of the short things I have recorded and see if any of the ones have any potential !!
