Its pretty uncomfortable to play (not painfully but it feels awkward) and I was wondering if anyones had this sensation before. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I stop for the day and it goes away though... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I also find that massaging & stretching my fretting hand helps a ton, I suggest you try it. Good luck man! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I've never experienced a 'hollow' feeling in my hand but as the other guys have said, make sure you're warming up properly, and taking regular breaks when doing strenuous practice. Try to not focus on one area of your playing for hours on end (eg legato) because it will put extended strain on one part (ie left hand, if legato), mix it up and do lots of different things. That will not only prevent injury but also make you more versatile as a musician! If the problem persists, start using a wrist support while practicing. If that fails take a break from playing and see a doctor! Hopefully it won't come to that though! David You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
