Every area of interest has something similar to what you're feeling, Lerb.

Writers call it writers block.

It's just burnout. You've been focused on one thing for so long that your brain has just shut down and will no longer process the info.

It's time to put the guitar down for a week and do something else. And, I don't mean learn Jimi Hendrix licks or Eddie Van Halen licks. Put down the guitar and do something else.

Next week, when you pick up the guitar, your brain will be back in synch with your fingers.

Olympic weight lifters don't lift for records every day. They do keep in shape by lifting lighter weights, but they do other excercises so they don't ruin their muscles for what they are aiming.

When an athelete reaches the burnout point, they do something else.
