→Guidelines to Avoid and Recover from Injuries
* [[Holding_the_Guitar_and_Pick|Hold or sling your guitar properly]] to prevent unnecessary strain on the wrists, shoulders, or elbows.
* Use [[Basic Technique|good technique]] and find comfort in holding the pick and gripping the neck.
* Try [[Setup/Adjustments|setting up your instrument ]] for easier playing - lower action, thinner strings.
* Don't play beyond your ability - work up to difficulty over time.
* If you start to feel pain, do not try to "push through" it. Stop and stretch and do full range motions.
