That's actually something I already have been doing a lot since then. Especially started listening to more guitar virtuosi, and I started practicing more not so long ago too.

One useful thing is to listen to some music
you're not listening or playing often. Per example if you're metal player and wanna write metal music,listening only to metal kind a limits you cause you have all those great metal riffs from other bands in your head and many things you come up with you might not like it. Another way is to leave it for a while without pushing at all,inspiration is matter of moment, it just pomps in. But whatever you write be sure to record it. Even if you don't like it atm you might like tomorrow or re-arrange it latter on,just don't erase it. -------------------- Youtube

Try not to listen to guitar players at all for a while!!
Go for singers,any genre, sax players,piano players etc. -------------------- Youtube

I agree with Muris. I am not sure what other music you are into, but I listen to stuff like this when I am stumped.
Charlie Parker John Coltrane Antonio Vivaldi Also, listening to guitar players you may not be into can give some inspiration. Ex. If you don't listen to jazz often maybe a month of just jazz. In the past I would get obsessive and only listen to one album for long periods of time, no radio, limited television, lots of reading, and then sit down and write for days. I hope this is helpful and I wish you good luck -------------------- |

Thanks for the advice so far. My musical interests are actually very varied. Metal - tech. metal, prog. metal, general heavy metal, alternate, Doom etc. besides that general rock and prog rock too. Besides all that I'm quite fond of electronica and jazz with drums, guitar and bass. Not too fond of all the big band-ish stuff. I think I'll just have to get back at it now that I'm not in any education - and here I'm allowed to think outside of the box. I get the idea. I have similar problem,it's the one when I try to break each song I hear on the radio into chords and tabs right away,in my head. Kind a overdose. Good thing is to listen to music just as a music, without paying attention on which instrument has a solo or som. Chill-out or ambient music in fine example,kind a Twin Peaks soundtracks. -------------------- Youtube
