"It's quite possible you're resting your wrist on the guitar and bending at an odd angle?

The picking hand should sit free of the guitar and most of hte motion should come from the elbow, not the wrist."

hey guys, thanks for the feedback. Kingpatzer, you may be right. after reading your post i realize ive been very sloppy lately. i do all my practice while sitting, and i eventually end up slumping, which surely puts my wrist at a bad angle. i need to work on my posture. seems like any problem you have always comes back to the fundamentals! thanks again, guys.]]> Guitar Players Discussion GuitarHack https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/pick-hand-pain/#post-213213 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/pick-hand-pain/#post-213202 Thu, 07 Dec 2006 17:33:06 +0000

Also, be sure to love your hand. Give it a good massage now and then - Icy Hot is nice as well. But like anything, don't over do it. It should be gradual.

If it persists, I recommend seeing a doctor.]]> Guitar Players Discussion MrJonesey https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/pick-hand-pain/#post-213201 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/pick-hand-pain/#post-213155 Thu, 07 Dec 2006 07:45:38 +0000
