I pick the guitar up, and just picking it up makes everything not feel "right". The sound that comes out isnt right or anything. What I hear In my head I play on the guitar exactly and it still doesnt feel right. I could play a simple riff like smoke on the water, or play some Trivium, and nothing feels "right" anymore about my setup. Could it be me just losing inspiration or is it like time to change the gear up? Im confused, so please help anyway you can. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I guess I have been hittin hard this past month on guitar. Maybe I should give it a break, and check out other guitars or something.

This is completely normal, and I also have these moments sometimes, specially after some long and hard sessions. One time I even thought that somebody changed the strings on my guitar, that's how much I lost the feel! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

A few hours break a coffee and adding some delay and just chilling out for a while usually makes everything better. Or just playing a familiar song really well.. just nail that song then get back to learning You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

NOLA FTW! Yea, sometimes I'm just not on, this is usually when I fail to do my warm up... So invest some time in coming up with your own unique warm up to get your unique hands on the same page. Also during long sessions my hands tend to accumulate lactic acid, stretching, and playing something out of m usuall helps this. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
