Hi,

I've been learning to play about a year and would like to know if there is any tips to relaxing your fretting hand. My hand is getting tired very fast while I play. I must be pressing my thumb against the neck too mutch. I have tried to loosen my hand and play relaxed but after a while I always press to hard. Maybe this has something to do with my first guitar whitch was quite hard to play. Now I have Seagull S6 and I consider that it is way easier to play. It was properly set up at shop.

I keep my thumb on upper third of the neck most most of the time. My palm doesn`t touch the bottom of the neck in any time. I think my grip from the neck is just like Lisa instructed.

Is this fatigue just lack of training? I've been training about 1-2h a day almost a year so I think I should have developed some kind of strenght to my hand.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
