Stop playing fast if that gives pain, if you keep playing you might end up having to restrain from playing for months. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Try some slow pentatonic improvisation for 20 mins or so before you start your speed picking You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The injuries often happen when you do a lot of intense practicing without resting a bit, and focusing on relaxing your muscles as much as possible as you go up the speed.

You should spend beginning of every practice session warming up with metronome, doing repetitions of faster passages at slower tempo , to get your hands in sync towards what will happen later when you attempt to play things full speed. That way your first 30-45 minutes end up being very productive as warm up and serve as proper set up to anything technically challenging you might play. Take brates 10 to 15 minutes between hour of intense practice. Hope that helps. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You should either make conscious effort not to tense it, or you are simply playing to fast. There are Petrucci's warm up exercises, search them on tube, they really help.
