I hate my guitar. I only change my strings when I have a gig coming up. I stopped practising guitar when I was good enough to play Heretic songs (which are easy). I really despise everything about playing guitar - it just turns out I'm naturally amazing at it.

I completely lost interest until last week, then we start doing Progverizer. Much better.

I just got to point where I wasn't improving, but luckily I had basses and a drum kit to entertain me. I've now devopled the skill to play in odd time signatures, so I'm happy to play again.

It happens to a lot of Metalheads. I got bored being able to play nothing but Thrash rhythms and playing in Phrygian Dominant all the time. If you're a Metalhead and even try to play stuff like Van Halen, chances are your rhythm technique (yes, very good, Lev) will be too rigid to play stuff like that.

Might have been... don't think so. They're literally the best band ever though - nearly as good as Kasabian.

You're getting silly. I'd never have made a joke from that.
