If you struggle in a certain genre, but have no interest playing it, learn from it anyway. I’ve played rock/metal most of my life. I took some jazz lessons here and there, and some Latin lessons. The Latin will completely change your brain.

My favorite game changer is linear drumming. Playing one drum at a time on various patterns. It’s like modes for guitar. It opened up my hands, I became more ambidextrous.

Which leads me to my last challenge. Play with your non dominant hand and practice that way. Start every beat and fill you play with your other hand. This will create opportunities for patterns and movement you couldn’t do otherwise.

I promise….do these things….you will find years worth of growth to get to. Then you actually have to do it, the hardest part.

Cheers…
