Guitar Injuries?!?

i've been playing a lot recently for longer peroids of time then im used too and sometimes i would feel a strain in my right shoulder(my picking arm) every once in a while.So today when i woke up before i even started to play i got a lot of pain in the same shoulder.Could it possibly be from playing too tensed i dunno has anyone ever experienced something similiar?Should i take a break from playing for a little while.

Getting Better At Writing?

I was curious how i can improve and coming up with original riffs on guitar without just copying stuff and trying to change it a little.I tried to look into some theory but im having a hard time applying it to guitar.I was wondering if anyone more experienced has any suggestions that can help me out and maybe get me started trying to write some riffs and maybe even songs.

Hey Aexeslingers!

Yo whats up everyone!I've been on this site for a little less than a month and im finally getting my feet wet in the forums.I got a subscription for this site as a early christmas present and i can honestly say it was one of the best things i coulda done to improve my guitar playing....God knows i need it.I've been playing for about 7 months and been getting better slowly but surely.
