Joking aside - as that really cracked me up - I hope they will discover the cause and help you get through with things quickly!

Since this Topic was posted I decided to go into my Doctor to talk about it. He referred me to a Hand Therapist and now, after a few weeks of going there, I am doing exercises every day which are strengthening my hands but I'm afraid the damage has already been done to my small finger on the left hand, as it continues to hurt. No heat pads, no ice packs, and no other things have changed the damage that has been done. All I can hope for is that time will heal the problem. I have a call in to my Hand Therapist about a popping sensation when I try to do pinch exercises with the thumb opposing the small finger. This does not seem good and I don't know if I should continue the exercises for this small finger because of this new awareness of a problem. Ick, I just want to play the guitar, but this has been some roadblock. Hi Ken, I'm so sorry of hearing this. I hope that you evolve goodd and finally could heal this problem. Try to follow all doctors instructions and exercises, and don't play guitar if it hurts. I wish you all the best mate.

I have cancelled all future therapy sessions as I am having pain from the exercises now. It also doesn't make sense to me to do exercises when you have an injury. I will be my own doctor in this instance now and prescribe complete rest with some playing that is not painful. I'm interested in theory and would like to study all of the modes and gain more familiarity with the notes and relative place in the scale that I am playing. It would be good to have mastery over this area. I will take great care and play what is only not painful. I believe this will heal over time with a careful proceeding ahead. Hello Ken I will be happy to assist with the theory, so to begin with, please take a look over the notes in the threads bellow - we will start here and after reading, I would be curious to hear your thoughts so we can take it from there https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=48699 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=47641 |

Hello Ken I will be happy to assist with the theory, so to begin with, please take a look over the notes in the threads bellow - we will start here and after reading, I would be curious to hear your thoughts so we can take it from there https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=48699 https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=47641 I appreciate your willingness to help me Cosmin, I've already taken nine years of formal violin lessons, can play in all keys and also studied keyboard formally with lots of theory training, so I have some background in that. I've been to maybe a second year level of theory studies but beyond that I realized that it was turning into a complex subject like advanced calculus and I just do not have an interest or mind to follow it into that depth. What I do want to know is where I am at with the guitar in constructing scales and modes. This will take practice also as seeing it on paper and knowing where it is on the guitar by feel are two different levels of understanding. I would prefer to learn on the guitar first and then be able to write it down on paper. This post has been edited by Ken Nielsen: Nov 6 2013, 05:07 PM |
