Do you get days when you just can't play?
I sat down for a while today with the guitar and no mater what I tried it came out even worse than usual... I couldn't even strum a basic tune in time, couldn't fret notes, nothing was working.
I'm blaming it on working outside in the cold with bare hands ( laying slabs)

I'm blaming it on working outside in the cold with bare hands ( laying slabs) Every Bloody Day ;D ;D I know what you mean sometimes I think it is a state of mind. I am going through the same thing. So I am gonna leave it alone for a couple of days and usually when I come back I am OK again Do you think it is when you are trying to hard |

As a man of many years and a doctor, I recomend Scotch and a cigar for those days. But you have to admit just holding your favorite guitar puts a smile on you face. Phil

I had one of those 'days' late last night/early this morning. I was testing out a secondary computer that I loaded up with Audacity and wanted to record myself playing. Man, did I 'flop'! I couldn't play anything smoothly! I hadn't practiced in several days. Just knowing that what I was playing was being recorded also gave me 'stage fright'. So, don't be expecting any recordings from me anytime soon!

I tell you what, it is very encouraging to hear our more experienced guitar maestros say they suffer from the same problem. I thought it was just a newbie disease. :-)
