Sounds like you can practice legato until you play like Dave Murray then Kaz
Now seriously, go see a doctor if you haven't already, and don't force that shoulder or it might get worse. Maybe you need a couple days rest. -------------------- Guitars:

I had the same problem when I started to play, but don't worry, it's not that serious if you follow everything the doctor says

Please don't self diagnose or rely on the internet to browse symptoms etc .. coz it can freak you out .. Go see a doc .. Once it is healed, do some light shoulder/arm stretches before playing every session.
The only bright side is that here's your chance to practice legatos like you've never played them before... and turn em into one of your strongest technique .. All the best .. Get well soon This post has been edited by zen: Jan 21 2010, 09:29 AM -------------------- "If the need is deep, you WILL find a way , if it isn't, you'll find some excuse"

It is always good to know exactly what the problem is. Then you can heal in the right way and that will ofcourse be the fastest way to playing guitar again. Plus you might get some good advice on how to prevent it in the future. Conclusion: best you go see a doctor

Ive got RSI in my picking wrist, have done for about 2 months. After about a month the pain had pretty much gone away so I decided to play again for a few days, then it started up again and its been another month to get to almost better again. I read on a website that you should wait at least the amount of time it took to heal, to start playing again.. otherwise i guess it just comes back.
I think you should take this really seriously man, I didnt take injurys and problems seriously when I was in a fit state and now I wished I had warmed up well and taken breaks every now and then. So STOP PLAYING! I practice legato now though, put a dampener near the head (like a tied sock or hairband or something) and you can practice legato with all hammers on and pull offs, like a hammer on from nowhere so that your picking hand isnt used (like Allan Holdsworth style)- check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTI2s4svE2s...PL&index=43 |

"Agreed, and never ever practice when you feel pain - it could be your highway to chronic pain. (you'd have to start all over again with vocals instead, think about that"
