Ok, bizarre title.
What I mean is how many players felt like they needed to "start back from square one" (well not THAT close to the starting point) and go completely back to the basics and just work them like a new guitarist/bassist (not "Smoke on the Water" riff and all down picking LAWL).
I wasn't happy with my playing, it had gotten a bit sloppy and I was going back to the same sloppy-assed "style" I did when I was younger (horrid lessons).
I pretty much started in Dec. 2014 with just Chromatic exercises, modes, and added a scale every 10 days (THIS time I DID take lesson's for a couple years and the teacher knew how to teach, unlike past "teachers" that only taught riffs, not theory, chord construction or related things like that), and have been following that daily regiment.
NO old songs no new ones, just Chromatic stuff, Modes, scales and chord variations and a new scale at intervals.
So my question again is has anyone ever do a "re-vamp/over haul" of their playing in a similar manner ????
