Yes, this happens after too much exercise for me too, after week or two of hard training, it feels like I'm going backwards, my improvising is poor (too many fragments of exercises), and timing is becoming more "nervous".
couple of days of rest solves this problem for me. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I'm glad it's not just me
 When I hit that slump day I start to think 'Damn, all that cool practice and technique I developed over the last week has gone !' I you start getting obsessed with it and panic slightly. Silly, but it does that to you  QUOTE (Dinaga @ Jan 13 2012, 10:53 AM)  I often wondered: Is it better to take one advanced (level 9) lesson, start super-slow and practice it for months, gradually building up the tempo (good for ego, but can cause a lack of motivation because of slow progress) or learn more easier lessons more quickly and take smaller steps (this is more motivating, because you can see clear results more often, but you don't have that 'Guitar God' impression  )... Before I thought the first approach was better, but now I'm in favor of 2nd approach  You could do a bit of both. Smaller goals are better for motivation but you can still break down the higher level lessons and work with them too. Have a read of my practice journal where I mention about acclimatising yourself to higher speeds: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=562377 |

And it's true - For example, I always find arpeggios a lot harder to play at medium speed than high-speed.

QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Jan 13 2012, 08:00 AM) Me too ! Weird isn't it ? definitely! arpeggios at mid tempo really require your control. I really enjoy the sound of them too, When I was learning arpeggios I really fopcus on mid tempo because, I don't know if I heard or something, but I knew that if I mastered them at that tempo, then slow and fast would be really easy, and sure enough, it feels a lot more comfortable -------------------- Visit my:

QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Jan 13 2012, 12:23 AM) Hey Dudes, Do you ever get those times where you've been practising consistently well for days and then one day it feels like you're just too slow or too tired ? Are you able to do lots of other physical activities and still play intense guitar.. or does your guitar playing suffer occasionally because your hands/arms etc are already tired out ? It hardest right after you make me do finger push ups. I go thru phases - every now and again, I'll have one those days where I should probably just strum because the AP coordination is just not happening can't even blame it on fatigue. I think our bodies just go thru natural cycles of suckiness like that. It happened with me when I played volleyball - some tournaments were spot on, others it took til playoffs to shake off the dross. I think its a mind-over matter thing. But who knows. It's real and common in sports for a player to just out the blue not be in the groove.-------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!
