Hi Scott et al,
So I’ve stopped playing for a while due to pain 😡 . And now I’m getting pain from typing. Damn! Again, for now I can’t leave the house due to illness, so I guess rest is the answer.
Funnily enough I find a thinner neck easier on the wrist, because I can get my fingers a little further around it. I have a tele and a strat – find the strat easier to play but like the sound of the tele better. Anyways, for now I’m just listening closely to my cd’s and dreaming about when I’ll be able to play again.

Michael,
That’s weird; I sent you the following private message on Nov.13, but I guess it didn’t go through? Thanks again for your comments!

Hi Michael,Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply. I’m taking your advice and taking a break for a while, and will certainly try your suggestions re. using gravity more and pressing lighter on the fretboard.
Thanks again, and all the best,Adrian
Hi guys,
Thanks for the responses. I actually got tested for carpal tunnel a few years ago, but it was negative. So I guess it’s just “tendonitis”, meaning pain in the area. I’ll try tilting the neck higher – Chuck Berry did that I think. I just can’t seem to get my wrist straight for bar and power chords especially on the 6th string no matter how hard I try. Getting some instruction would probably be an idea, but right now I’m stuck at home due to illness. Anyhow, I’ll keep trying new things.

ps what’s the tacos story?
