Hi all - Since this is the biggest bunch of technology-loving guitar players I can think of, I thought I might ask the following: I have been occasionally having some numbness on the back of my left hand, which goes up the back of my arm, is occasionally SLIGHTLY painful in the forearm, and other times feels like there is a breeze blowing on the back of my hand (sorta like that, anyway). I am a hardcore computer user, and as of the last 9 months, playing in every spare moment. I've looked around, and this sounds kinda like it might be some sorta tendonitis/RSI thing developing. So - here's what I'm thinking of doing: 1. switching from 11's to 10's on the guitar. 2. buying a wacom tablet (I use one at home, and never had a problem before) 3. looking into an alternate keyboard, like maybe a one-handed "chording" keyboard (something called the "BAT" looks interesting) Anybody have any experience/words of advice/product recommendations? I prefer something that is PC and Mac compatible as far as the keyboard is concerned, but am open to any suggestions. I don't want to become crippled just when I'm really starting to be able to play decently! Thanks, MT
