Injuries

[jtcnj]

Sitting, I opt to use the classical guitar position, puts the hand and wrist in a more natural state, but still, depending on what chords you use, up to 5 hours can start to wear on your wrists. I usually give it a few days break after long recording sessions before I pick up my guitars again.

I wish I could get used to that; over this 4 day Holiday I will spend more time with it.
The typical seated feels like I am reaching way around to my right, makes my right shoulder sore (2 surgeries), and the guitar wants to roll back behind me.

I never play sitting. Just never learned how to do it, am never comfortable that way.

Ha, I've always played sitting down and I don't feel comfortable standing to play. In addition, I also have nephropathy in my feet which makes it difficult to stand in one place for more than a few minutes.

I didn't start doing it til I got a V guitar, then i found it REALLY comfortable and will do it even with my super strats. To me it helps to also have a strap to kinda help keep it tethered to you so it doesn't feel like it will slide off your lap.

Since I’m officially an old stinker now, I’ve found the need to actually warm up a bit before I get as serious as I ever get playing. And believe me. I do some pretty simple stuff compared to a lot of you guys here. While I don’t do any real warm up exercises. I do tend to do some notes up and down the frets and some relatively easy on the fingers chords to get limbered up.

Hopefully you just strained something and giving it a day or two to heal is all you need.

4 days to recover next practice will be Sunday.

I am not a doctor....I am familiar with pain associated with binge playing.
Ibuprofen.

Drink plenty of water too, and stay hydrated. I don't think I could do any marathon playing sessions anymore, but I am slowly building back up to the task.

Whoa, that's more than expected. Hoping you feel better soon man. I better take a day or two off (although I dropped my strap and it alleviated most of the discomfort).
