I think we lost a great thread when GS crashed recently. In the interest of bringing back the knowledge and information that was shared, I'm inviting all the people who took part in that discussion to repost their ideas here. I found the original thread to be invaluable and I'd bet many others would, too. Thanks in advance!

The original post went something like this (not my post, and I don't remember whom to credit + sorry if my memory of the post isn't accurate): "I'm a fairly accomplished guitar player and I've been playing for 20 years. I know all the commonly used scales in every position, can play blues, rock and jazz, but I've hit a wall and my playing has not gotten noticeably better for awhile. What else can I study to improve my playing?"

Ok I'll drop names, too. Jim Richmond, Henry Robinett and I believe FFTT contributed great posts to the original thread. If you guys feel like rehashing your guitar wisdom, I know I won't be the only one who'd greatly appreciate it. If I missed anybody, please feel free.
