Edwin 07.31.10	Pleeease help me get out of this rut.
Psilocyanide 07.31.10	Sounds like you just need to not sounds like shit... you could try getting better.
dr2den 07.31.10	had that happen once and one day few weeks later it all just came back better then ever
dr2den 07.31.10	unless u just suck then get better
Edwin 07.31.10	Thank you sir.
Satellite 07.31.10	I feel the same way about writing sometimes. I try to write something every night, regardless of whether or not I'm "feeling it." That way, once the juices start flowing I'm ready. Guinness FTW.
Athom 07.31.10	try learning some shit that is totally different than what you have played in the past.
botb 07.31.10	try learning a new technique or a new song or something. that always helps me.
incomtaxes 07.31.10	like some avenged sefenvold^
botb 07.31.10	learn something that challenges you and is fun to play. for me i've been learning protest the hero and wretched songs. they utilize everything i've learned and really challenge me so they keep me intrigued. that's just what i've learned, find something that is the same for you!
dr2den 07.31.10	learn the sweepz
eternium 07.31.10	Just listen to something that will inspire riffage. Like Botch.
botb 07.31.10	only learn to sweep if you're going to take the time and not give up. learning to sweep might further discourage you because its frustrating as shit when you first start and it takes a while to figure out but after you learn how it's literally like the easiest fucking thing.
Edwin 07.31.10	Thanks lads. Sweeping is the one thing I've never attempted, so I might dedicate the weekend to getting stuck into learning.
Locrian 07.31.10	Listen to a shitload of music you've never heard before, maybe even try to expand your boundaries a little.
pmmets07 07.31.10	Just learn some fun, easy shit you like to listen to and jam along.
Sheeple9000 07.31.10	★☆★ DRAGONFORCE ★☆★
ABR157 07.31.10	Mess around with some new tones. Clean tones with different effects always seem to inspire a bit more creativity with my writing... The clean tone's a good break from the riffage, then going back to the riffing just seems easy and welcome
Aids 07.31.10	The same thing happened to me, I got too boxed in with my playing. Learning some theory, like different modes or scales, helped me because it showed me different tonal approaches. Try that out I suppose.
liledman 07.31.10	its good to take a bit of a break, and just listen to some new music. forcing yourself to learn/write something new wont do much good, you need to actually feel inspired to do so. its alright to just chill and take it easy for a bit.
