Today I found at best I won't be able to speak for a month, so I pulled out my comfort music. Here's one of the tunes I like to listen to for happiness
 
COMFORT

If you add some Southern Comfort to that, you'll probably feel even better! 

That cheered me up, too, and I wasn't even feeling down. That git-picker could have been mute and it wouldn't have made any difference; his guitar is plenty eloquent.

I like this comment:
 

If only these guys could have been pretentious jerks but, no, they had to go and be down to earth humble guys that just happen to be musical geniuses. Damn them.

hi,
 
You can fine tune your humming, maybe?

Feel better, Bill. It is infuriating (and/or depressing) not being able to engage in ones art to full capacity.
 
Your fingers still work though, aye? Let your guit do the weeping for ya.
 
Cheers.

Thanks Beeps! I'm just now able to hold my guitars. I had the staple and stitches out a couple of days ago. My timing is off and my accuracy needs to be adjusted but it sure did feel good practicing and playin a few tunes today 

Hi,
 
Welcome back to the land of the notes!

Right on, man. I bet it did. I honestly find being forced into not playing for a while shakes things loose in the brain pan. Like all the notes, concepts and ideas get a chance to reorganize themselves into new and interesting forms. Then on top of that having to struggle a bit physically to get those ideas out can be helpful too because it sometimes makes you choose another strategy you otherwise would not have thought of like a different voicing or doing a run in a different position which opens up a range of new lick possibilities.
 
It's almost as if when we get too practiced up and can play the first thing that we try every time we don't explore as much.
 
Just some silly philosimasizing but it works for me (or at least I convince myself it does... lulz).
 
Heal up quick.
 
Cheers!

Bill is exploring a whole new subgenre of metal.
