Hi there.
I started playing guitar again after a 1 year break (due to me being an exchange student) so since my break I've been playing for a bit more than a month. It feels so good to play again.
I also got my first seven-string a week ago (Schecter Damien Elite 7 FR, so sexy!)
My normal six-string is an Ibanez RG350DX, which I love too.
So basically, a few hours ago, I was sitting there playing some right/left hand coordination practices on my seven-string (because my Ibanez is being fixed at a store)
After probably 1 hour of practicing (with some fooling around every once in a while, playing random stuff on the guitar), I had decided just to do the coordination practice a few times more and then take a break. Then suddenly, I felt this pain in my wrist when I played. It wasn't consistent, it was like every 2 seconds, you know, that "stabbing" or "piercing" pain or whatever you call it. In my wrist.
Decided to stop playing instantly and it wore off after a minute or two. I just felt it again for a minute a little while ago.
Could it be an injury, or wouldn't that be more painful?
Does it just need rest, and how long?
Or could anything else be wrong?
I'm thinking it could be because I'm used to play on 6-string guitars and I did the exercise on a 7-string.
