In a rut?
Sometimes the simplest things can mean so much.
Regarding ruts or slumps that can occur from time to time in your Stick playing... something as simple as taking a nice walk can invigorate your playing and "loosen" you up for new and pleasing musical expressions.
I write this, because that's what I just did!

Re: In a rut?
A walk is fine, a lesson is better. IMHO.

Re: In a rut?
What if your rut is so deep and long that you can't walk your way out of it? seriously though, good luck I agree a change of scenery can go along way Brett

Re: In a rut?
wow...
It was so simple what I was talking about. Just how nice life can be with unexpected simple pleasures.
Paying for a lesson?
Clinical depression?
Not what I was referring to, but just like unexpected pleasures you get unexpected downers.

Trilok Gurtu would always go for walks to clear his head and let new music come through.

Re: In a rut?
When I go for walks all the old ear worms come out to play - but I found an antidote to The Birdy Song: [url] http://www.notjustballoons.co.uk/choke-turkey.html[/url] Every home should have one. Max
