Why do they say that typing on keyboards and playing games causes RSI from finger moving all the time. And can create arthritis ..... YET guitar players rarely get it... i mean come on satriani been doing it for what 30 years + yet not RSI or arthritis ... lol

Any one else get the impression Doctor's talk out of their ass alot of the time just to scare us into having Omega-3 and cod liver old for our joints lol

Any of you had injuries yet??

if you over do anything you can have injuries.

you could argue that Jimmy page, BB King, even Les Paul are still playing, of course not at the same level, Clapton once mentioned that he can't do some of the stuff he could do 10 years ago.

however, I think we should wait a bit and see what happens to Yngwie, Michael Angelo Batio and the like :P

Don't forget to stretch.. Do what I do.. Finger yoga before playing guitar ;)

i jus hate when you cut your fingers and it hurts to play :(

I hate it when i re-string a guitar and the string stabs the tip of my fingers. Feels like a mini electric shock when it happens.

String end 'jabs' are evil.. hate them hate them!!! I dont get em now, but as a young un, Id get blisters on my ringringer.. bleh!

Ohh I hate it when I am injured. And am training soccer on the position - goalkeeper :D:D
Well, my doctors tell me to stop playing... soccer, not guitar :lol:

I had already 4 fingers broken but I just can't help it! I keep playing. Actually after the third time, as I was just beginning to play the guitar, and I could not play for a month, I quit playing soccer for three years but since 2006 I play again...

Thats why I only type with two fingers :D
