trivium91 -> Sore Hand from guide fingers (Jul. 26 2022 15:36:55)
|
hey guys, im working on speed and dexterity through the use of guide fingers. My left hand wrist and hand has gotten pretty sore, sort of like a dull ache the next day. Im working on a solea falsetta that shifts your middle and index finger up a fret rapidly and back from the P & A finger. It seems the spreading of the two fingers closer to the Capo, away from the P & A finger which are also sliding up, is causing strain on my hand and wrist. I guess I overdid it this weekend as I usually only practice an hour a day, this weekend is when the pain started. I mean its fine but I don't want to start having issues with my hands as im only 31. Its classified as an upper intermediate falsetta through the Laga online flamenco program. Did I overdo it on the weekend where I should have slowly ramped up the practice of this falsetta? I've got back into guitar about 7 months ago having not played for 15-20 years, exclusively flamenco this time, though as a kid I only played classical. I've practiced every day since than as I feel like im trying to makeup for lost time, though I only have time for an hour a day during the week. The weekends are anywhere from 1-3 hours a day spread out. I have lifted weights for years and still do 3 days a week so my grip strength is great, I regularaly deadlift twice my body weight at comfortable reps around 10 so that is not the issue. I also do vinyasa yoga once a week and recently just started stretching my hand out after playing. Any other tips?
