I have this problem pretty often, especially when writing on my acoustic. I usually try and see what it sounds like at different tempos, with a different meter (think 3/4 instead of 4/4), with faster chord changes, longer times between changes, bridging bass notes (or adding simple "licks" between chords), and occasionally just writing out a strumming pattern to attempt. All of these options will get your brain thinking and you'll likely find *something* within all of that which will stick.

Question for the QA: How should I approach rhythm to be interesting? By that I mean, I know a lot of chord shapes, and stuff, but if I have to play something with them it always just some campfireish stuff rhythmically. I'm trying to change it by adding some "chukkas", but then it still just some kind of campire song with occasionally muted strings lol

I only caught the end of the stream, but to me it sounded like a sound card issue, maybe increase the size of the buffer in Ableton? idk
