Design craft vs muscle memory

At 3fish we don't specialise. No sir, no ma'am. Not in medium or sector or target market or anything. We do this because we believe that if you do the same thing day in day out you create a creative muscle memory. If you only do one thing you end up doing it the same time in time out. Maybe not on the surface, but the thought processes you put into the project end up being the same thought processes you've used a hundred times. You can't help it. It's good to mix it up and do something that throws you outside your comfort zone.

That's why I've decided after 32 years of playingthe guitar to adopt a completely new tuning. 

The new standard tuning was invented by Robert Fripp and extends the guitar's range by  four semitones in the bass register and three in the trebble. It also means that everything I've ever learnt is now redundant. To all intents and purposes, I'm learning to play the guitar all over again.

I'll let you know how it goes.
