[@drifter61]

See. Let me work on my chops a bit more this month.... . I really really wanna jam with you boys. For real. We could mess around and put out a solid banger. You two are my favorite hands down. I guess its cause I feel like connected since it seems like you both think and play in the direction i do and help with fresh perspective whether you both know it or not. Grateful for getting on here and finding like minded individuals who not only crush musically and intellectually but work so hard at it. You are appreciated fellas. But for real. Us 3. jam. Please. Ill make a wish this bitch lol 😆

[@graemebrook9367]

Man, I needed this video!! As a guitarist of over 10 years, my BIGGEST struggle has always been writing. I’ll spend hours at my computer always unhappy with the outcome, and usually get stuck in the “noodling” phase (playing variants of basically the same riff) until I get depressed enough to walk away :( I’m excited to spend some time applying some of your principals this week! Thanks for the awesome content, as always ❤️

[@joaoldmedeiros]

Aw man, now you know to alternate noodling with some very deliberate notes for you not to get stuck!!! I know you'll benefit!!! 😍😍😍 Thank you so much Graeme 🙌

[@Straightfire566]

I’ve had the same problem

[@thecaptn1758]

playing variants of the same riff is basically the best way to write a whole Song out of 1 Idea.keep going!

Hey Man! Let us know how it went

[@brianvillage5]

That’s what John Browne does on purpose. Think of that for inspiration.

[@kcrich1310]

A lot of times when I'm noodling on my guitar I'll come up with a bunch of real short attention getting riffs or melodies but when I try to expand on them I always hit the wall and get shut down. I'll give this a try and see if it helps...........
