@Chris Alex - I have found that playing gospel music will help you improve. Especially old mass choir songs. Mississippi Mass Choir, Chicago Mass Choir, Georgia Mass Choir, Ricky Dillard Choir. Also, take the progression of any CCM and work on locking in that groove. You will be surprised what you come up with. Try slapping and popping, ghost notes, etc. those are all things that will help you when you don't know what to do.
