Health For Guitarist

The guitarist has to strum the guitar on a constant basis. Without the proper procedure and experience this can leave many novice strummers weak in the hands. Which is why you need to put together a ritual that will provide you with the "stamina" you need to rock out all night.

1. Drinking 8oz. of water a day.
2. Avoid caffeinated drinks as well as alcohol. This is very important for the Party Harders, seeing as these beverages can slow you down.
3. Warm up with a light stretch. Your muscles should become expanded for you to perform.
4. Watch your posture at work. Check for your back! You don't want a slump back when the curtains open, you could end up straining it, standing long periods of time.
5. Try to avoid sewing, and activities that relies heavy on the arm and shoulder.
6. Make sure you use ice-packs to heal swollen muscles.
7. If the muscles in your neck and back are sore and tense, moist heat may be good in relieving the pain. As with ice, use heat for periods of 20 minutes at a time. Take the heat off for 20 to 30 minutes between sessions.
