Can you give me some tips how I could relax my right shoulder? I think it´s not very tensed but i feel some tension, especially when I do sweep picking. Because at the moment I´m still practising first arpeggio of eugenes Trick bag( which I can play with 120 bpm now). When I lay it my right shoulder gets much more tensed then the left hand, although the right hand isn´t hard. Right hand and arm is relaxed, only the shoulder...

I get tension in the pickingarm and shoulder when I play sitting down mainly. When practising like sweeping and stuff. I guess my arms are longer than they should (for practising when sitting down) I dunno but I try to stand up and play as often as possible.
