This week's effort finds me with RH ring finger pain developing. I've been leaning into it a bit since getting the head tension sorted and wonder if I'm oveloading my braced fingers. Gloom:

If you play with your right arm relaxed (as you should) you shouldn't have to lean into your ring finger too much. I've found that if I relax my right arm (as my instructor tells me to) I don't have the problems putting down two fingers and I don't seem to have the pressure on the head that I once did. Hope this helps!

Hi Patrick, your playing sounds sweet, that flowing relaxed sound is something else and only 15wks. I'm jealous but please keep them coming it's inspireing and drives me to work harder. All the best with the finger prob(maybe tape the two fingers together?}, Brian.
