Has anyone else have the strange sensation of your right hand and arm falling asleep or losing circulation when playing? I currently play an acoustic sitting down until I find an electric I like. But its really a pain in the ass because i cant accuately pick because my hand is feeling all wierd. Thanks for any feedback. Cody You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Indeed, think thats the reason, I used to get that aswell, not any more though. dont really know what I did to make it go away, my arms are probably longer now or something You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
