Stuck

For the last, I don't know, four or five months or so, I've been on a huge plateau. I'm not as eager to learn Dave anymore (mostly because I can play most of 'em) and he's usually what I play when I do play. I've been tryin' to work on my singin' but my guitar, I think, is slacking ... a lot compared to what I think I'm capable of.

I was wondering what everyone does to get them off of these plateaus and learning again. Lessons?? Collaborate?? Take some time off??

Listen to a lot of different music and try to play all different styles of music. play with other people. just work at it and try new things.

yeah there are similar threads so there are probably some answers in there that would help you too...but when i dont feel like im gettin anywhere, i just dont play. im talkin bass, but i feel it applies to guitar too...(actually when i dont feel like playin bass, i play my guitar...)

Yeah, I just did a search. I think I'm gonna get some lessons. Which would offer more of a benefit, Classical guitar lessons, Blues? I need to learn some good solid technique and get some more speed, and a new influence.
