  • How's Your Arm?

    Mike Emiliani from SmartBassGuitar.com Has a very informative article out on the importance of making sure your arms are in the right position when playing your bass.

    Here's an excerpt:

    "FOREARM PAIN PLAYING BASS: WHY PLAYING POSITION MATTERS & YOU’RE PROBABLY STRETCHING WRONG

    Nothing can stop a show in its tracks quite like forearm pain while playing bass. It’s certainly stopped me from playing my best on multiple occasions.

    When there is pain, it’s exclusively to my right hand, my plucking hand. Over the years, I’ve tried all kinds of different stretches, positions and gimmicks to relieve this pain when it happens. I’ve learned a lot and what does and doesn’t seem to remedy the pain. Here are some of the things that I’ve learned."

      So far, I've been blessed to have never experienced forearm pain while playing and sometimes we're at it for 3 hours at a time.

      I do stretch before playing, but not for 10 minutes, but I don't drape my wrist over the bass body like in the first example either.
