I'll CRANK the amp, and just play a 12-bar riff - I'll try and make a song up about how my guitars are doin' me wrong. I'll shout, I'll scream, I'll vent, and I'll get it out of my system. I'll just play downstrokes - HARD downstrokes - and because I'm frustrated with the guitar, I'll take my frustrations out on the guitar.

Trust me it does help - loud rock'n'roll is a great answer to all problems!
:D :D :D
Vic I agree Vic. I've often taken that approach. Just seems lately that even doing that does not help. What I did to resolve this was to restring both my guitars. I cleaned the fretboards on both and detailed the LP.
As luck would have it, I then got invited to play with a person who, to put it in plain English, sucks worse than I do. So THAT helped! :D]]> Guitar Players Discussion Blueline https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/somebody-please-tell-me-why/#post-263733 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/somebody-please-tell-me-why/#post-263631 Mon, 10 Sep 2007 05:04:16 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/somebody-please-tell-me-why/#post-263631 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/somebody-please-tell-me-why/#post-263621 Mon, 10 Sep 2007 04:28:29 +0000

I like Ignar's advice: Be thankful for the bad days. But that's easy for me to say today. I just had a great guitar day! :D (I did try a different type pick today. That could be it, but I can't explain away the bad days...)

No matter what, don't quit! You'll be better soon enough. :)]]> Guitar Players Discussion musica23 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/somebody-please-tell-me-why/#post-263614 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/somebody-please-tell-me-why/#post-263047 Thu, 06 Sep 2007 19:25:11 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/somebody-please-tell-me-why/#post-263047 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/somebody-please-tell-me-why/#post-263038 Thu, 06 Sep 2007 19:04:45 +0000
Interestingly, I've heard some golfers blame days like that on small nerve groups in the hands - they call it the jitters. You'll see older pros migrate from 'normal' putters to long-shafters that they tuck into the stomach, eliminating the effect of those small nerve groups. I've never heard anyone say that about guitar, although patently guitarists rely heavily on the same small nerve groups in the hands.

Maybe we need to migrate toward lapsteels as we grow older??? :shock: :D
