As well, I picked up a Pod XT before Xmas and I have been playing through that alot lately using headphones. Because all my equipment is in our bedroom, switching to headphones allowed to increase my practice time with the wife around. One night though, I couldn't sleep and started playing at 3am. With no lights and a really quiet background, I was amazed at the sound of my playing despite making mistakes from not being able to see the guitar. So now I try once a week to get up in the middle of the night and play. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Closing the eyes and just listening what you play is something that means a lot. I use every chance I have to do this, I only look back at the fretboard when I have to move far across the neck.

Often times when i do a long 6 string, or so, run I end up looking at my picking hand... and I have no idea as to why! I think maybe when I was just starting I probably looked at my picking hand a lot and maybe it built up in habit. But now I can't see the fretboard and I'll make sloppy mistakes I'm going to try this eyes closed thing if nothing else then it won't matter if retarded habits come out and it will probably break it.
