I do only two things when a flu hit me. Watching TV or sleeping. That's it. Hope that you recover soon.

Don't be too hard on yourself Matt, drop the level down a lot and just take it easy. You may even find that after coming back to practicing after a week of little or no practice that you are a little better - gives thing time to click in your brain when you aren;t assulting it every day with practice. I often notice this after returning form business trips.
And of course, get well soon mate! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

When you are sick - don't over-do it with practicing. Make it 1 hour if you can pull it off. If not - nothing bad will happen. It's better to relax and have a good sleep because that will make you heal much faster When you are back to normal hit it into overdrive and catch up with what you lost and that's it

If I'm sick I don't practise as near as hard as I would when I'm well. Infact I probably don't practise at all. I just play my acoustic.

My case is a bit odd.
I usually get wet(sweaty) after real and hard playing,practicing or gig,doesn't matter. So when I'm sick,cold,flu,high body temperature etc I keep on practicing until I'm all wet cause it lowers body temperature. Then I get quick shover and back to bed. Not sure if this routine work for everyone but give it a shot Matt. And wish you fast recovery tho!! -------------------- Youtube

and I think maybe eat lots of choclate Eating lots of chocolate is always a good idea! If I were you I would just play a little bit every day, but just for fun, playing things or improvising some scales you enjoy, but nothing too demanding, because when you are ill the body has its habilities really diminished... and you might end up getting angry if you push yourself as if you were OK. -------------------- Guitars:

When I'm sick I pretty much watch TV all day.. Why play guitar if it makes you feel bad?
