Before they start law suits against GMC for having so many amazing lessons, so they injure themselves while attempting to learn them Generally, to explain what injuries or disorders may appear, what to do when they appear, etc. I found one sample Health Warning for Microsoft keyboard and mouse: QUOTE Use of a keyboard or mouse may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. When using a computer, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not working at your computer. Symptoms like these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, or other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, and other conditions. While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general agreement that many factors may be linked to their occurrence, including: overall health, stress and how one copes with it, medical and physical conditions, and how a person positions and uses his or her body during work and other activities (including use of a keyboard or mouse). The amount of time a person performs an activity may also be a factor. Some guidelines that may help you work more comfortably with your computer and possibly reduce your risk of experiencing an MSD can be found in the “Healthy Computing Guide” installed with this device’s software. If this device did not come with software, see the “Healthy Computing Guide” section of the “Getting Started” manual. You can also access the “Healthy Computing Guide” at www.microsoft.com/hardware or (in the United States only) by calling 1 (800) 360-7561 to request a CD at no charge. If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a qualified health professional. So, what do you guys think about this?

I know that we always stress this issue in the lessons and forum, but it may be usefull if we compile all our experiences in one place You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Does anybody want to put this warning together? We could have a list of gmc instructors agreeing/signing at the end of the text - to show people that this is serious (some just argue "hey it's rock n roll - I don't need to be careful") I had a guitar injury which prevented me to practice seriously for 6 months.
