Thought it might be interesting to see which of us have been through guitar related injury throughout our careers. Apparently, 60 percent of professional instrument players perform through some form of pain. Maybe not 60 percent, but some significant percentage. I forget, ha. Myself, I was hardcore Hendrix for the first three years of playing (left hand at almost a 90 degree angle to my arm, hand wrapped around the neck) which resulted in carpel tunnel and tendonitis. Anybody relate?
