Not sure what to do

And now the follow-up thread.

I think it's obvious. You're bipolar!

Seriously, I think all players go through this from time to time. I know I do.

No, I'm not! Yes, I am! Wait . . . maybe?!?

Yeah, I've been through this before too, but two months was a freaking long time. The more I think about it, the more I'm buying into the "writing as catharsis" theory.

You're getting older. Things take longer as you get older. Well, ok, maybe not only age. But as my kids get older and busier, and other life commitments continue to demand time, it is hard to overcome these things in just a couple days.

Saw your follow up thread - but thought I'd comment here. I was in a rut. Playing the same chord shapes, same tired pentatonic licks - so I've been taking lessons this past month. My teacher is great - he's really working with me to see the fret board in a new way - basically the CAGED system - but he doesn't use all the shapes. I'm learning new songs and learning to play them while avoiding boring 6 string bar chords. This has energized my interest because my brain is engaged - I am having to think about my playing - about what I should and shouldn't be doing.
