Ok well I just talked to him very shortly because we are heading to our place to practice but this is what he said Ill get more out of him once we get to the shed....

He said to one just look all over the web or create your own warm up exercise for both your pick hand and your fret hand. Start it about a hour before you play or really any time before hand just to warm you up.

He also recommended to bend your fingers back especially if you play with your fingers, but also to rub your knuckles and pop them and such. I told him about your hand cramping up during playing, he also said that it could be that ya you are holding the picks to hard/weird or wrong technique of holding the pick. He said he would show me "certain" ways to hold it and see if your holding it the right way or whatever. (I'm the drummer so I don't know much, but I can play guitar.)

You also might just be getting tired/stamina, drink a lot of water before a show just for the fact you are in front of a lot of people which=sweat and you can get dehydrated which=cramps.

But thats just basic stuff, I'll get more once I get to practice.

Also I'll try to find a link to it, but he has like a finger exercise tool he bought at a music store, and it helps build finger strength etc which will improve your fingers and such.

I told you, I jerk with the LEFT hand...the LEFT!

Thanks Paint...I've been toying with the idea of getting a Gripmaster for years.

I think at this point, I'll go with this:

1. Relax, for fuck sakes...I'm not playing Madison Square Gardens.
2. Warm up the right hand using a stress ball or those weightlifter grippy squeezy things (sorry if I'm getting too technical).
3. Stay hydrated...drink beer AFTER the show, water before.

If those things don't work, I'll give up and play the fucking spoons or something.

You need to add an 18 year old blonde masseuse to your rider.

No problem man, if the problem happens again, try to remember exactly where it hurts and what you were doing like notes and such and tell me and Ill ask my bassist some more questions.

It seemed to flare up when playing "A Hard Day's Night". I don't know if you recall our version of it from the videos I posted a while back, but we play it really chunky and heavy. Maybe I was just rockin' out too much and attacking the strings.
