Pain!!!

[etkiller]

Hi guys

I have a little trouble, I feel pain when I play, my left arm is tired or something like that. What should I do? :(

[Wyll_Watts]

there are alot of factors that could come to play here...

what specific area are you feeling pain in?

several things could be causing this, such as:
bad posture for your body type, using too much pressure with left hand, attempting wide stretches, not warming up etc..

most of these have the common factor of tension. Something is causing tension and leading to fatiuge and pain..

Don't just keep playing through it. If you see a doctor (to tell you what it is that is going wrong in your arm) and a guitar teacher (to tell you if there's anything wrong with your technique), you should be able to get a good idea what is going wrong. It could be any of a large number of things. Once you know what the problem is, you can fix it.

I remember having a burning feeling in my arm, but that was just me building up muscle, if it just burns like, then I keep playin, if it is a sharp pain I keep going, but don't take my advice, get his opinion, I'm not a pro.
