There's no longer that big piece of wood to help hold some of the weight. I'd try loosening up your arm a bit and relaxing as well as playing a little less, especially if you woke up with the pain before you even started playing. The worse thing to do now would be to injure yourself more. Maybe a warm bath/shower would help along with taking a break. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I have a program called zonealarm that was making video's either not load at all or load slowly. It took me a little while to figure this out, so if you've got any kind of software that monitors your incoming data from the internet, allow GMC to send data or disable the program :)

Muscle gels are good for this sort of thing and my wife swears by "arnica" gel which is a natural product so you can slap loads of it on, it does actually work quite well (in fairness to her ) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You don't need to go to the doctor, but be careful, take some days off, and concentrate to keep you shoulders leveled and relaxed all the time.
