Now I'm completely wasted and don't even feel like playign guitar! Haha. That's what happens when I do some hard physical exercises! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Hence this applies to the muscles you're working out, many lifters tend to divide their muscles on different day enabling them to exercise every day and get hyper results. Maybe one should do the same with guitar. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I have worked in a heavy lifting environment for the last 12yrs, and recently did an injury after taking up regular guitar practice. I think it may be because guitar playing can strain the muscles (and delicate nerves dont forget), that often never get used in everyday arm/hand movements like Gripping, pull/pushing etc. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Unfortunately I don't get enough time to lift nor play guitar regularly which sucks... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
