So sometimes when I play certain parts in songs my thumb begins to hurt a lot, it’s almost like I’m gripping too hard or something along those lines. It really happens when I’m playing the clean part in “I Wont See You Tonight Part 1”. I can play through the clean bit once with no pain then on the second round of the riff my thumb starts hurting and makes playing that part tough becuase I keep having to flex my thumb to stop the pain. I can play most songs with no pain at all but only in certain parts of songs I feel the pain.
I was just wondering if this will go away after my hand has gotten used to playing in an odd position or is there like an excersize to help reduce the strain on my thumb? Or maybe I should stop putting a death grip on my guitar…
Thanks for any help!
