Stop playing for a few days, start playing again, and everything's easier now.

I love when that happens!

It's even more easier after a couple of stout shots of 20 year old Glenlivet.

Part of why it's important to never give up. Old (hopefully) = Wiser.

That happens to me with working out. I find that if I lift hard for a week and take 3-4 days off, when I come back I'm feeling stronger and more energetic. Same thing with running. If run two miles every other day I start to feel declining performance, but if I run one mile three days in a row and then take a 3-day break I can hit 2 miles with more energy and a better time.

 

With guitar it's a different story... I suck always...

Yeah this happens to me as well. Just part of the experience. It can be really annoying when you want to play as well. I also find completely changing what you are playing helps. As in play something you don't normally play. I think sometimes playing the same stuff over doesn't help this.

I hear ya.

 

What happens for me is when I learning something difficult and just can't get it, I find it is better to forget about and come back a couple of days later. Usually then, I can play it. I don't know why? Perhaps I am processing it in the meantime or whatever but it works taking a break.

Yup here too. Its about rule 3 I think.
