Yeah, I kinda plateaued like that for a few months and got frustrated to the point of giving up. Always the same-ish songs, same-ish patterns, same-ish things to train on and progress was somewhat limited or stagnant even. Then I started to take part in a weekly creative challenge to pick up some given drum patterns and create some weird riff around it and it's a great mind changer. It's a great and fun mind changer and confidence builder. You learn: You can kinda do something cool. And suddenly technical training isn't something to do for a vague goal of being "a better guitarist" or "a better bassist". Suddenly, I have ideas in my head I cannot express because I'm not good, fast or precise enough. So I need to improve my rhythm counting and improve my precision with 16th notes. Or music theory isn't something to learn "because you're a better musician then", but because that knowledge results in finding more interesting melodies easier and quicker.
