Question Mark...

Life often gets in the way of a musician's regular daily practice routine, for any number of reasons ranging from an emotional personal situation, family events, an injury or sickness, vacation, etc, etc. When that happens one of the greatest pieces of advice I can offer is to do something that you normally wouldn't do otherwise. If you still have access to your guitar or bass, try writing or arranging a new song or a model solo, even if it's only a few bars. Same goes for transcribing or recording. No instrument? Write a new practice game plan. In the long run you'll come out ahead :-).
