Hi Gang. So happy to join you at last. I hope you all have some advice to prevent me from making the same mistakes I made in a prior guitar life. I paid for private lessons for over a year. The progress I was making was not what it should have been for one simple reason.............My fret hand wrist was killing me. Tried everything , including acupuncture. Finally I had to stop playing and took over a year off. Advance tape to present day. I am dying to start again, but am REALLY leery about reinjuring my wrist. It feels normal now and I have strummed a bit w/o pain. If anyone has advice re: warmups or anything else that would keep me playing with joy and no pain, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks: Dennis
