Doc...give us some tips how to avoid injury during practice,
1) how long should warm-up?
2) what kind of warm-up?
etc


Everybody has got their different approaches to warm up (John Petrucci's method in his video is one example of an elaborate warm up routine).

But the principle is always the same...don't push your hands into doing what you find demanding when starting to play...just play something easy...and slowly build up to more demanding things as you can feel your hands looser, more relaxed and of course...'warmer'...
When you feel pain...STOP!
Rest or play something easy again...then continue...

The problem with me is that by the time I've warmed up, I've used up all the time to play guitar for the week! Crying or Very sad

Wait...what is DOTA dude? Is it a song? (I'm not good at song titles)


walk in to any popular cyber cafe.you will know what i am talking about..
its a 5 heros + a base vs 5 heros + a base..

each heros have different abilities,spells and you are able to purchase item to make your hero stronger..

I'm not into role-playing stuff...but I'm a hopeless sucker for 1st person shooters!
You wanna know what literally stopped me from picking up the guitar at all for 6 years?


...and just when I thought I conquered my addiction...then came...


...and dont get me started about all the different versions of Need for Speed, Star Wars X-Wing Series, Unreal Tournament and it's mods etc. etc... Laughing

By the time I can control the urge and thought of coming back to the guitar....now, the workload multiplies... Confused

I was involved in a road accident 2/3 years ago
I choose to play music instruments to exercise my hands
Target in mind so I can use my hands as before

Just imagine playing music instruments just like doing an exercise
I hope soon you will be fine
