I've been taking advantage of my medical leave to play guitar pretty much all day, every day. However as mentioned a few days ago, I developed some wrist pain. At present I can play my acoustic guitar for about an hour, then play my Parker Nitefly for the rest of the day without pain, as long as I take breaks at appropriate intervals. I have no doubt I am guilty, to various degrees, of all four reasons described in the above article.
I enjoy living in the moment when I play guitar so I'm the least guilty of Reason #3.
Because I am required to spend most of my waking hours with my nose generally pointed at the ground, due to the gas bubble inside my eye, I can't really do anything about Reason #1 (poor posture).
Oh well - gotta do what I can do!
