RE: How to sit while playing guitar... (in reply to Ricardo)

quote:
Unless you are stuck doing only one technique for hours, which makes no musical sense to me, and I don't recommend doing anyway. When I practice and am doing exercises, I'm conscientious to mix-up the techniques so as to avoid injury (e.g. arpeggio, rasqueado, piccado, and tremolo exercises; then repeat more advanced exercises for each). Tonight, however, something odd happened. (And I'm responding to you Ricardo because it involves your solea!!). I spent about an hour alternating between a piccado exercise from the Nunez Encuentro DVD and the arpeggio section just before the piccado run in "Plaza del Cabildo". What I didn't notice was that I was spending all of my time on the first three frets and that my fretting arm was in the same position the entire time. When I finished playing and moved my fretting arm, my elbow was killing me. I lift weights and stuff, but I've never felt something like this in my elbow. (I'm icing it now for the third time.) So, now you've all been warned!!
