Creative Exercise

This weekend I got together with my friends to play music; I play the guitar.  I noticed my friend had a guitar with only the three lower strings on it so I decided to play that instead of my guitar.  We also decided that we would jam in three minute increments, playing only three chords each song.  Putting limitations on ourselves forced everyone playing to stretch and be more creative in the notes they played.  It was fun to see what we came up with and fun to get the creative juices flowing.
