How to prevent playing a song the same way everytime?
First off, I suck at guitar and don't so much play it as hack away at it. However, there are a few tunes I love hacking away at (in privacy of course). My problem is I generally tend to play a song the same way everytime (usually the way I learned it the first time). How do you guys prevent this from happening?
Another issue I have is keeping on a steady strum pattern and wanting to play the syllables/inntonations with my strumming instead of the singing/lyrics doing that job instead. Maybe the problem is I don't sing because it's too hard to sing and play at the same time and I suck at singing, Anyway, just wonder if anyone has suggestions on playing a strum pattern consistently.
