      You could play Jazz improv and Shoegaze/Dreampop. Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine are spellbinding. Effect pedals are another thing that is a blast to play with. I drink some Kratom tea instead of booze and it really puts me in the mood to play some Major7ths and Minor7th chords, or just improvise some Jazz, play whatever I feel and no note is off limit. It can be liberating 😀♈

    Gotta tell you this, yesterday, I was playing around with a chord progression in Guitar Pro and I wanted to add a little riff not much, didn't even sound that musical to me - but, someone started listening at the door - I didn't see them - and they asked if what I was playing on guitar was from my guitar teacher (you know a guitar God) because they said it sounded good - and I said, "nah I'm just doing what that Viking told me to do" :) Anyway, it made me feel really good that someone said it was good when I was just using your ideas. Back to practicing this riff it's so 80s!

I can't believe how long mine used to be......shoulda kept some of that......I still have my ADA MP-1 and it still sounds great. I wish I would've held on to more of my Charvels and Jacksons. I had some really early models made by Wayne Charvel, and have a Wayne too. I know his place burned down in those fires a few years ago and he was rebuilding but I'm not current with that news. Great times, great gear, great musicians! I'm happy Metal has survived, especially guitar playing. How it ever got to "no guitar solos", and being somehow uncool to know how to play - I never understood the reasoning. Yeah, the recording industry was spitting out way too many copy-cats with unoriginal stuff, but no guitar solos??? That's like an episode of the Twilight Zone for sure!
