I'd also recommend using the lightest strings you can get away with. I'd use 8's if I could, but I've tried them before and I snap far too many high E strings - so I use 9's, and that reduces a lot of the strain on my fretting hand.

:D :D :D

Vic Yeah I use 8s lol. Rarely break a string so I'm fine with em. Love how easy they are to play. Saw some 7.5s online a while back...I think thats pushing it a bit. Might aswell put cheese-wire on your guitar.

But snapping the tendon...ewww. That must feel really horrible. Not to mention painful. How on Earth did u manage that? Those things heal so slowly even with a minor injury, let alone severing em. :cry:]]> Guitar Players Discussion simon@home.co.uk https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitarist-health/#post-331896 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitarist-health/#post-331880 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:45:36 +0000

But then it does make things way harder to reach while standing up...Anybody know about these things?]]> Guitar Players Discussion simon@home.co.uk https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/guitarist-health/#post-36355
