dcstep is on a distinguished road
I find it easy to get sloppy playing the rock/commercial stuff. Spending just a little time playing Charlier, or Clarke or Arban, focusing on articulation, intonation and control seems to keep me grounded. I'd drifted away and hadn't played legit in several years, then a church gig came up this Easter. Playing those classic studies got me back in shape fairly quickly.
