Ah, I suspect those must be what I'm doing wrong. No I don't stretch or work out.

Thank you for that advice. It'll take a few days to re-cooperate. I remember this happened to me the first concert I went to. I rocked out!

I'm sad to say, but... I would say headbanging is an art, just like rapping...
(90% of them have no idea what they are doing / 70% or more of them totally suck and should of probably not done it in the first place) Also people normally end up with a headache after doing this. Step 1) You need to be a metalhead or goth. People are generally found doing this at metal/rock concerts. Step 2) Stretch your neck before handbanging. Just like you stretch your fingers before shredding up a lick on the guitar. This prevents injury. Step 3) Start off slowly and work your way up following the tempo. Rhythm nod, nodding your head backwards a bit then flicking forward, repeating with the rhythm. Note: your moving backwards gently and forward a lot (don't jerk back on your neck). Step 4) Stay in time with the drummer and rhythm. Step 5) Hard slammer - swinging your head from head height to waist height. Step 6) Windmill - spin your head in a circle and let hair fly. Best with long rockers haircut style. Step 7) Professional headbangers bodies usually bang with the head, reducing the strain on the neck and making the body move in a serpentine, up-and-down fashion to the music. Step 8) Follow up with eyes closed and/or in combination with hand gestures, yelling/screaming, and/or death growls. Step 9) Have fun! ps. Awesome vid, but your jerking the neck rather than moving with the body, this would hurt. You body is currently static, it's a real struggle playing the guitar and moving the body lower at the same time, but I think that's your issue.

I don't how the guys in Cannibal corpse for instance headbang throughout the whole set. I guess they are used to it after years. My neck hurts the next day when I head bang too much.

Glad I'm not alone in the pain, Daniel
I'm getting better with it now. Still sore, but not as bad.

Nice video! I also think that with some warming up and stretching (before & after) you'll solve the problem.

Hey nice vid man, just saw it!
Yeah, like everybody said, it's probably the fact that you haven't warmed up your neck muscles and they got stretched too fast. Try to stretch them slowly, and try to relax (if possible) your spine a bit. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
