I have spent the last 6 months working triads and 7th arpeggios into my lead work. All on acoustic, because I had learned that electric & acoustics are almost separate instruments that should be approached differently.
Keep learning. And I'm 5 months from 65 years on piano & 2 months from 50 years on guitar.
There are always ideas we've never employed before.
