JOIN THE DISCORD VIEW THREADI mean, I use to have this problem where i was always practicing sitting down. Then last june, I wanted to have fun and walk all around my house simulating like if i was playing live (Im so glad no footage exist of me doing that cuz I get quite excited) and I had the realization that I sucked. Couldnt be as fast as I wanted to.hey everyone! I got my ESP Horizon II back from the shop and since I had of guitars in the shop, I was only playing on my Gibson. I was practicing my scales standing up and OH... MY... GOD.
The frets feel HUGE, the neck feels thick, and my tiny hands feel overwhelmed now. When I play it standing up, my wrist hurts after only like a minute and I already have my guitar really high. The neck just feels monstrous.
Is this pain something you get use to or is this guitar just no longer the right type for me? I use to play on it all the time but never the type of stuff I'm practicing now.
Most definitely with the thumb placement. Bonnie (my ESP) just feels like I'm gripping a wide paddle. But Anubis and my Gibson (Les Paul studio) feel great. I'll have to look up the necks of those two. Even my Schecter Demon 6 feels good. But wow.Without knowing which gibson you're playing, or looking up anubis's neck profile, the ESP Horizon II appears to be a "Thin U" type, maybe your thumb is sitting in a different position than it would on the others ?

Let us know how it goes! Though I will say that if after one week, the pain still persists, then id try to figure out if the position or whatever it might be is wrong!OMG YOU BOTH WERE SO HELPFUL. Like you have no idea!! Thank you both so much!! I'll give it a couple more weeks off solid, slower practice, maybe even a month.
And yes, you put it well that ergonomic pain is something the body doesn't get use to.
You both literally put my mind at ease. Thank you!
OK good idea. I'll do that. Thanks so much man!Let us know how it goes! Though I will say that if after one week, the pain still persists, then id try to figure out if the position or whatever it might be is wrong!
Anytime!OK good idea. I'll do that. Thanks so much man!
