I just got back from my doctor and he said that it was a ligament that he knew about. He's a guitarist too and he gave me some stretches and said that i should stretch and then play slowly and progress if it was just mild and that i should just work through it unless it got too bad. i just want...

By stretching my fingers out as far as i can do you mean spreading them outwards or bending them backwards? Im just a little confused and i dont want to hurt myself anymore. Thanks Jeff :metal:

yeah im just getting into longer reaches like you were saying so that could have been what did me in. How often should i take breaks because i usually just want to keep playing so i do. What kind of warm up do you do?

thanks for the input and im icing right now. Ive read some topics from some other sites on the subject of left hand positioning and im wondering is it harmful to keep your wrist bent most of the time? Ive read a lot of posts that say you can do every chord or most of them without bending your...

hey all, didnt really know where to post this but ive been playing 2 years now and i just started getting to a good comfortable point but about a month ago my wrist hurt really bad and now i havent played in a month because of it. Well... thats a lie, ive played a little but it hurts so i set...

this could be the case with me but how can if i straighten up my wrist i find thati cant reach a lot of the notes i could before, so am i straightening too much perhaps? :wallbash: so i guess my question is how can i know that i have my wrist bent just enough? :metal:

Notta really is going on. I tried to play and my wrist still feels shitty every once in a while so im still resting. Its killing me honestly but i just won a rg7421 on ebay so ill have a 7 soon enough even if i won't get to play here right away. Can anyone tell me some warm-up stretches or just...

Hey could i see some pics of the Halo? thanks

ive been looking at the Scheter 7's im just worried because i have smaller hands that the neck will be a little big for me. The 707s in the Hellraiser draw me in but i dont want to have to fight the neck. What do you guys think about the Iabnez RG1527?? Does the basswood body really cut back on...

thanks ill be looking around. Whats the difference between a 7621 and a 7421 though? just the pickups?

How can you tell if it is an RG7621 model or not?

yeah im leaning towards some ibanez rg models now. The 7321 is looking promising because i like drop tuning and dont have a need for a tremolo at the moment. I just dont know about the 7321 though because of the price. Id like a higher end Ibanez 7 string without the tremolo. Are there any out...

Hey all, I want to buy a 7 string and since ive never played one i dont really know what to go with. Ive been looking at the Schecter C7 Hellraiser online and it seems like the way to go but the only way it seems i can get one would be to special order it through musicians friend but without...

Oi everyone, Im Jeff and im 16 and ive been playing guitar about a year and a half now. I think i strained my wrist last week so im giving my left wrist a break and i havent really played in a week now. its killing me but i dont wanna injure myself completely so i figure this is a good thing...
