Guitarists?
Hi everyone,
I’m just wondering if there are any guitar players on there that have experienced problems with their hands. My issue is a tremor in my right hand strumming arm and weakness and spasticity in my left hand fingers. Although I’m left handed I strum with my right. I have been playing for my own enjoyment for years and even more so since diagnosis. I love it it but it feels like my ability may be taken away. I do try some hand and finger exercises I’ve found on YouTube but if anyone has other ideas it would be great to hear. Thanks
I’ve definitely lost some feeling in general but also think a bit of my reluctance to play now is in my head. Played quite nicely the other day when I just forgot to worry. I was never much good in the first place!
Same here, i never thought there was anything to be done. I'm more of a fingerpicking-player, but that's, let's say, a challenge. Only thing that helps a little is warm both hands thorougly. Sometimes i use a warmwater bottle. In the evenings it seems worse. And, because i get so frustrated, i tend to just let the thing collect dust in the corner. No practice doesn't help either.. a vicious circle. Hope you can still enjoy your hobby,
