Stuck in a Rut - Need Improvisation Tips!

[Newmusician93]

Hey everyone,

I've been jamming a lot lately, but I feel like I've hit a bit of a wall with my improvisation. It’s frustrating because I know I have some ideas in me, but I just can’t seem to get them out when I'm playing.

I mostly play blues and rock, but I find myself repeating the same licks over and over. I tried a couple of things, like changing up the tempo or playing in a different key, but it hasn’t really helped as much as I hoped.

What techniques do you guys use to break free from that creativity block? Any exercises or approaches that have worked for you?

Cheers!
