Podcasts about repetitive strain injury

This week, we dive into absolute chaos and hilarity, covering everything from dreaming vs. actual sleep to Dunn's unexplained choking fits (on god knows what)

In Episode 27 of The Classical Circuit, host Ella Lee chats to pianist Adam Heron about lacking a sense of belonging as a ‘third-culture kid'; how working outside the music world transformed his relationship with it; his long recovery from repetitive strain injury, which involved deconstructing and reconstructing his entire approach to the piano; and what conservatoires might be missing in the realm of injury prevention and support.-------------------Adam's links:FacebookX (formerly Twitter)Instagram-------------------Follow The Classical Circuit on InstagramDid you enjoy this episode?

Transcript included below…Today, we're going to talk about how someone can still enjoy playing the guitar even if they have arthritis.Now, I myself don't have arthritis (yet), and fortunately, I've been blessed so far to have continuous use of my hands and arms throughout nearly 30 years of guitar playing, without incident.But we are not bound for this earth, and there may come a time when our hands may weaken, thereby limiting our ability to play some of the songs we can currently play.In my travels, I've had a few people ask me about what to do if a guitarist has arthritis.I don't want to claim to be able to dispense medical wisdom, because I don't have the background; nevertheless, I have a few things I could offer as suggestions.  Remember, everyone's body and hands are different, so what may be effective for one person may not be effective for another.Also, what may come easily to one person may cause another person to run the risk of injury, re-injury, or exasperating an existing injury.  So please be your own advocate and consider what I'm sharing here merely as an opinion, not a medical recommendation.  Cool?Here are a few thoughts that might encourage and empower a guitarist who has arthritic hands.1. Stretch your hands intentionally and gently before and even after you play. If you've been experiencing these episodes at Guitar Serious Fun for a while, you may have heard the story I shared about how I almost injured my hands due to overusing them with guitar and other instruments.For a refresher on this story, check out Guitar Serious Fun Episode 34: “Can Practicing the Guitar Be Harmful?”, as well as Guitar Serious Fun Episode 77: “Rhythms of Rest for Guitar.”In these episodes, I talked about how I read a couple books about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Repetitive Strain Injury and also worked closely with a physical therapist to strengthen my hands. The stretches I've learned through those experiences are ones I share in the early lessons of GuitarSuccess4U with our members.  So, if you want access to those (and so much more), please consider joining our membership.  It could change the game for you.Now I'm under no illusion that Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Repetitive Strain Injury and Arthritis are all the same.  They are most certainly not.  But they all have something to do with the hands having weakness or fragility, so I think it's worth doing a bit of research and learning more about how to attend well to our hands.One of our guest experts in GuitarSuccess4U is Dr. Gordon Myco, a Chiropractor and health coach.  Dr. Myco said in one of our lessons, “Take better care of your body than you do your guitar…because you can always get a new guitar.”  Right?2. Take breaks and always be conservative with hand use, not just while playing guitar, but while doing anything repetitive.This includes yardwork, crafts, or anything mechanical, especially something that requires some strength.  We do need to keep our hands moving, but we don't want to strain the muscles and joints.Breaks are super helpful, as we also talked about in “Rhythms of Rest for Guitar.”Speaking of rest, the Lord does some wonderful things to repair muscles, joints and even vocal fatigue as we sleep.  But if your hands are in any way compromised in their mobility and agility, it might be worth evaluating your sleep posture. I don't yet require them, but I am familiar with wrist guards that keep a person's wrist in neutral position as they sleep, so that they don't hyperextend them unwittingly. But again, I'm not even confident to speak intelligently on the physiological definition of “hyperextension,” so I'll step back from over-speaking here.  Just think, “Wrist guards may eventually be worth considering.”Now let's get into the practical aspects of playing the guitar if you have arthritis.3. Pray before you play.This may sound familiar, because it is actually a past episode.  It's Guitar Serious Fun Episode 47, by the same title: “Pray Before You Play”.  I encourage you to spin through that.  Is praying practical?  Absolutely.  Even offer a simple prayer like, “Lord, you've made my hands.  I'm fearfully and wonderfully made, and I sense a calling from you to use my hands and the guitar for your glory, in this season.  So please provide a way for me to do this, even if it's a way I can't yet see.”4. If you're an acoustic guitarist, make sure your action is low enough.I've been an acoustic guitarist my whole career.  And I've crossed paths with thousands of acoustic guitarists.  Unfortunately, a significant number of them have guitars that have unnecessarily high action.This could be because their instruments are in a lower pricing tier.  They could have also just come from the store and haven't been set up yet.Mike Lull's Guitar Works, the only shop I trust for repair and all the care of my guitars, was gracious enough to host me at their shop for one of our GuitarSuccess4U Expert Interviews.  They took me on a special tour of their workbenches, showed me their Plek Pro machine, and talked about how “Guitar Repair and Care” can be essential to our success.  I was even granted permission to provide to my members a special additional short video interview with the late founder, Mike Lull, about his story, process and philosophy of guitar repair.During the interview I conducted with the guys at the shop, Spencer Lull, Mike's son and the President of Mike Lull's Guitar Works, said that even a high-end guitar may still need to be set up by their shop.  He said that the vast majority of the work they do is to set up guitars.What does this entail?  It could mean re-setting or replacing the nut or the saddle.  Incidentally, this is the critical location where the strings are attached to the instrument.  If either the nut, the saddle or both are too high, the action will be too high.The truss rod may also need to be adjusted.Ironically, there are guitarists out there trying to play music on guitars that have not yet been set up, or that have been improperly set up, and without exaggerating, this is severely hindering their progress. It would be analogous to driving a car with tires that have very low air pressure.You can still drive a car with really low pressure in the tires, but it's not sustainable, and it's much more difficult.A well set up guitar increases morale. I taught several workshops recently at the Christian Musician Summit in Tacoma, Washington, and as I spoke about the importance of having a guitar properly set up, I allowed my guitar to make its way around the room.Each student present tried playing my guitar and handed it off to the next person.  And the overwhelming response I heard back from many of them about my guitar was “This is much easier to play on.  I think I really need to get my guitar set up properly.”So in GuitarSuccess4U, one of the 5 instant bonuses my members get access to is a short video I put together called “10 Tips for Proper Guitar Setup.”  Getting your guitar set up properly, especially by Mike Lull's Guitar Works, could be a game-changer, especially if you have arthritis. It could literally change the action to the point where you can play your acoustic with much greater ease.  Notes you couldn't access before could become more accessible.Mike Lull's Guitar Works repairs and sets up the guitars of Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton. I mean, if their shop is good enough for those two well-known guitarists, it's good enough for me.  Look them up at MikeLull.com.  Follow the menu to “repairs” where you'll discover that they currently offer a free instrument assessment. And please tell them David Harsh at GuitarSuccess4U sent you.  I don't currently get any sort of referral fee, but I do get the satisfaction of knowing that they are taking care of my people!5. Try lighter gauge strings.I use Elixir Nanoweb Medium Gauge Strings – from gauges 13 to 56.  These have a bit of low end for a fuller sound, and they also allow me to tune to the many alternate tunings I like to play in.I've played guitars that require light gauge strings because of how they are manufactured.  Medium strings on those guitars would literally strain the neck.But light gauge strings on a properly balanced and set up guitar neck could be another solution that would allow for more playability with less exertion by arthritic fingers.6. If you haven't already, try playing a classical nylon-string guitar. These guitars provide several benefits, including the fact that the strings take less effort to fret because the strings are made of nylon, not steel.  Also, because classical guitar necks are wider, the strings are further apart, so some chords are easier to form.Now, I'm not a classical guitarist, so I don't approach that guitar with the posture and hand angles that a classical guitarist would use.  Nevertheless, I do find that classical guitars are much more responsive and require less hand strength, which might be a good next step with someone who has arthritic hands.It all depends on what your fingers are capable of.I've met guitarists who have arthritis who are able to navigate a 12-string acoustic guitar.  That, to me, is surprising, because there are literally twice as many strings; each finger has to fret two strings simultaneously for every note. But hey, if the instrument is responsive, and the guitarist has the strength and is enjoying playing the instrument, I say, make some great music!7. Try an electric guitar.Although I'm not an electric guitarist, I will readily admit that electric guitars typically have much more responsive string action, sometimes requiring even less pressure than a classical guitar would.  Of the few times I've played a friend's electric, I've observed this feature right away.Depending on which type of electric (Stratocaster, Telecaster, etc.) you may discover variations in the guitar neck shape, and how the manufacturer has fashioned the instrument. With this in mind, you may want to try playing a few different electric guitars, whether at a friend's house or even in a guitar store showroom.  Your hands will tell you what's working…but remember, as I've mentioned, some of the guitars in that showroom – even the electric guitars – may not have been properly set up yet.8. Experiment with some open / alternate tunings.There are more possibilities for alternate tunings than you can imagine.  But the ones that tend to require less fingers are ones that contain drones and low notes for an actual chord to be played open.  Drones like low D A D on the three lowest strings, for example, can be foundational for an open D-based tuning. DAD (on strings 6, 5 and 4)  could be the basis for DADGAD (perhaps one of the most famous and well-loved tunings), but also DADF#AD (which is open D Major), or even DADFAD (open D minor, which actually allows for more versatility, as songs I've composed in that tuning have revealed.)But if someone re-tunes a few of their strings (down, typically), entire worlds can open up where they can let a lot of the strings ring open, unfretted, to the relief of their fretting hand. Side note: tuning strings down allows for lower tension and easier “fretability.”  Is that a word?  Nope, but you get it.  Some tunings I've experimented with involve tuning some strings up.  So try down-tuning first.In some tunings, a single note can be fretted and slid up and down the neck, and it can still sound interesting.  Some chords in alternate tunings require fewer fingers, which can be a relief.Another side note: if you're going to collaborate with someone else, it's a nice gesture if you can know what some of the basic chords are in the alternate tuning in which you find yourself, because when they observe your hands on the frets, if they've got guitar or bass background, they'll be confused to see you in unconventional locations playing “new” notes or shapes.9. Experiment with some partial capos.There are multiple partial capos on the market, some of which fret all but a single string, or just half of the strings.  Note that a partial capo does not place a guitar in an alternate tuning; this is confirmed by playing a bar chord or a closed voicing scale in position above the capo, where the notes remain from where they were before the capo was applied to the guitar.But a partial capo can allow for some fingerings with the use of fewer fingers.  These can also allow for drone notes. There was a capo manufactured years ago called the Third Hand, and fingerstyle guitarist Harvey Reid was super helpful about spreading the word about what this capo was capable of. It has since been surpassed by the SpiderCapo, which basically fulfills the same function: six spinning tumblers that allow for 63 combinations of fretted notes per fret.  It is the “Cadillac” of partial capos, because it allows for all possible options.  The current model of the SpiderCapo that I have is not super rugged.  It doesn't feel like it's been very well manufactured, so I kind of have to baby it on my guitar neck.Through Harvey Reid, I was made aware of Liberty Guitar, a new method of playing guitar using a slightly altered tuning and a tool called a “flip capo.”  Some of this method only uses the two middle fingers of the fretting hand, which may provide considerable relief for someone with arthritic hands and allows guitarist to get faster traction if their hands are not as strong.As demonstrated by this concept, you can combine an alternate tuning with a capo, whether complete or partial.  But do some experimenting and discover what's possible.10. Experiment with a bottleneck slide.There are a few tunings, specifically DADF#AD (open D Major) and DGDGBD (open G Major) that have been fairly easy for me to tune to.  Once there, I've tried using a slide up and down the neck, so as to facilitate the basic open I, then 5th fret IV and 7th fret V chords, for slide guitar.This is an entire genre, and it definitely places the guitarist in a certain style of playing.  But the “win” here is that he or she can play slide guitar with very little strain or stress of the fretting hand, because the reality is, they aren't fretting.  They're placing the bottleneck or slide just against the strings, not even pressing down much, and they're still making music.11. Take a break from the guitar.I don't encourage someone to quit playing their guitar simply because they have arthritis.  Hopefully, today's discussion has shown my hope, to the contrary, that they stick with it.But if someone's hands are weak or tired, it might be nice for them to enjoy a short season of music on another instrument that's less demanding.  Instruments that come to mind are: harmonica, autoharp, hammered dulcimer, or even singing.  Each of these are instruments where we can enjoy music without a lot of exertion of the hands.  Lastly…12. Place yourself in the path of a guitar teacher or guitar community.The road to musical proficiency can sometimes be lonely.  And even after we've made significant progress, we can still experience moments of discouragement for one reason or another.For this reason, I highly recommend GuitarSuccess4U.  It's a tribe of like-minded guitarists who are all accessing the same premium, curated collection of tools.It's not a support group per se, but it does provide tremendous support.  For some of our members, these are their people.  Guitar is not something everyone in the world speaks or understands, so when we gather for our weekly Zoom calls, there's a level of empathy and understanding that isn't found in other places.Members experience accountability, encouragement, and an incredibly in-depth, yet accessible approach to the instrument.Proverbs 15:22 says, “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisors, they succeed.” I can think of two of our members currently who are on the journey of an arthritic guitarist.What if you, as a guitarist who is struggling with arthritis, were to join us, become known in our community, and then discovered some collective wisdom from the group?  It could be a game-changer for you. All it takes is a tiny change in our trajectory to send us in a whole new direction.I invite you to check out our website if you haven't already – at GuitarSuccess4U.com. We have a list of Frequently Asked Questions, and some sample lessons as well.  Re-capIn closing, you might appreciate knowing that today's episode came to life as a result of an e-mail exchange I had with someone asking for wisdom for a guitarist with arthritis.  They asked the question, and here, in this episode, was my answer.  Can you see what a single question has produced in today's episode?  If this discussion directly relates to you, I hope these strategies are in some way helpful to you as you persevere through the season of arthritis and still desire to make music on some level with your guitar.So, if you have a question or a topic you think we might be able to tackle here at Guitar Serious Fun, let your thoughts be known in the comments for today's episode.  As you may recall from Guitar Serious Fun Episode 22: “I Don't Know…But Let's Find Out,” I will intentionally avoid speaking about something I'm not familiar with, or pretend to know something I don't.  That's just not how I roll.But if the topic is in my wheelhouse, I'd be glad to share my thoughts here.  So please continue to experience my offerings here and to share Guitar Serious Fun with others in your circles.  We've got more great stuff coming up.Thanks for experiencing my thoughts. I'll see you next time.Thanks for reading Guitar Serious Fun! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. This is a public episode.

Transcript included below…I can't complain.  But sometimes I do.Philippians chapter 2, verse 14 starts off with the command to “Do everything without complaining or arguing.”That's a tall order to try to attempt without the Lord's guidance and strength.But if He commands it, that means that with His help, it's possible.As a guitar player, there are many things I could complain about, whether the next concept I can't grasp yet, or the next skill I can't yet execute. I could complain about how my guitar feels or sounds, or I could even complain about one of my short or long-term music endeavors and how it isn't going as well as I'd like.Give me opportunities to find something to complain about, and I will find them.But that's only because my sinful tendencies are to look for them.What about shifting my mindset to things I'm grateful for when it comes to my guitar journey?  What can I be looking for in this season of thanksgiving, but also year-round?  Here are some of my thoughts – and just a heads up – they're ones that Captain Obvious probably could have pointed out to me.  In other words, they're really pretty straightforward.1.  I have all 10 digits. With respect to those who don't, I'm blessed to have full functionality of my fingers and thumbs. I know that there's no promise of this, and someone on the receiving end of these words I'm sharing might agree with that statement…from experience.I occasionally hear stories about people who have had an unfortunate accident where they have lost the capacity to use all their fingers, or even their hands. It could be a life-changing event that happens in a single moment, or perhaps it could happen over time. Twice in the past couple of days, I've heard about people in my circles who would love to have the full use of their hands, but who are physiologically limited in some way, due to a medical condition.This doesn't have to be the end of the story for a guitarist.  Sure, it can be much more challenging to play the instrument without all 10 digits.However, there are two iterations of a customized capo out there that have made it possible to enjoy playing chords with less than four fingers. They are the Third Hand Capo and the SpiderCapo.  These two capos have spinning discs or tumblers that can create up to 63 combinations per fret…and that's even before embarking on alternate tunings.They create the illusion of an alternate tuning, but don't require totally new shapes – just partial ones.  Even without a capo like this, there are still single finger partial chords out there.But these capos provide unique voicings that are reminiscent of alternate tunings.Speaking of, some of the open tunings I've experimented with, like DADGAD, can be leveraged with a lot of open drone strings and fewer fretting fingers, and still facilitate some very beautiful chords.So, for those who are missing one or more fingers, guitar can still be within reach in a new way.Phil Keaggy is a master musician who has built a career around pivoting from an injury to his guitar picking hand.  The job of his now missing medio finger has been replaced by his anular finger, and the anular's functionality has been replaced by the chico finger. In layman's terms, his ring finger and his pinky have become the new middle and ring fingers, respectively.Who uses the chico / pinky finger a lot anyway, right? Even with tools like this, some people don't have the physical strength to apply their fingers to the frets of a guitar.With this in mind, for those of us who have all our digits, if we're not sure what to be thankful for, I'd say that gratitude for that basic blessing can be a really good place to start.2.  I can hear out of both of my ears.It has been said by several musicians I've met, that listening is just as important, if not more important, than playing music.To know how to contribute to the sonic signature of an ensemble, we need to listen well.And to be able to simply enjoy music, we must be able to hear.  The loss of hearing in one or both of our ears can change our ability to enjoy music.I know several people who can only hear out of one ear, and fortunately, they are still able to enjoy music.But there are people who cannot hear out of either of their ears, despite the fact that they would love to be able to enjoy listening to music.  Some were born without their hearing, and some have lost it, either immediately or gradually.To lose my sense of hearing would make me deeply sad, because of how important music is to me.In fact, in a game of “Would You Rather,” when asked the question, “Would you rather lose your sense of hearing or your sight?” my obvious response was “My sight.”Right?  With my sight gone, I would still be able to hear music, and in some ways might still be able to enjoy playing music.  Sure, some of the significant position changes up the neck require a visual connection to the fretboard, but over time, it's possible to become more and more visually independent from the guitar.And losing one's sight is a sure way to accelerate that visual independence.As a matter of fact, I will occasionally temporarily wear a blindfold on my eyes to discover how well I can rely on the tactile approach to playing, while leaning heavily on my ears to guide me.It's a good exercise.  I highly recommend trying it.  If you don't have a blindfold or bandanna handy, just lower the lights.  But of course, be sure to remember how to get back to the lights switch, so you don't trip in the dark.So as a guitarist, I can be grateful that both of my ears can hear.3.  I can enjoy playing and sharing music.It's easy to take this for granted, but as a guitarist, I can enjoy picking up my guitar, playing songs that I know or am learning, and then sharing those songs with others.I can share songs by collaborating with other like-minded musicians who want to work with me to make something more together.I can share songs with a listening audience, whether in a living room or a grandstand, or anything in between.  I can even record songs with my guitar in the studio, or more simply, on my phone, so as to be able to transcend miles and years. The ability to enjoy playing music and sharing it is something that cannot be overstated.  How many guitarists used to be able to play, and can play no longer? They're out there.  Some played too hard and developed Repetitive Strain Injury or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.I've worked hard to discipline my hands with stretches and strength-building exercises, all of which I teach inside GuitarSuccess4U, because an ounce of prevention is worth what?  A pound of cure.Some guitarists have developed arthritis.It's a sobering fact that one day, every guitarist will play his or her final notes on the guitar.  When that will be, we don't know.It could be today.  It could be eighty years from now.I know that my earthly hands won't last forever, and that one day I will not be able to play my guitar. But today, I can. And for that, I am grateful.Every day is a gift, and the ability to play and share music is a gift.What this Gratitude DoesAs a guitarist, I'm all about embarking on musical challenges that help me grow.  Some of those challenges are within my reach, and result in what I'd call “quick wins.”Other challenges, though, take months or years, and I find myself slogging through some really technical guitar work that will hopefully lead to artistry and proficiency.But that takes time.And in our culture, some people (ok, sometimes I) want faster results.  And when I don't get those results, I come to a fork in the road.I can complain and be annoyed, or…I can be grateful.Which do you think leads to higher morale, better focus, and a more effective process?I think you know.  Gratitude.  It helps me play better, it gives me more focus, and it allows me to stick with it for longer.We all need breaks.  We all need the opportunity to regroup.But gratitude gives me a better practicing posture.I'd also say that when it comes to performing, some of the people I share my music with absolutely love it.Some.  Not all. There will always be a small percentage of people in the audience who will either look like they don't love what I'm doing, or they'll offer me their divided attention because, for example, they'd rather look at their phone while I'm pouring my heart out.Who knows what people are going through?  But what do you think I aim to do under these circumstances?I try to give thanks.  I try to focus on why the Lord has me there, sharing that music.  He may have someone in that audience who is brokenhearted and really needs to be encouraged.Bringing a message of encouragement through music for that one person may be the main reason the Lord has me there.Or, maybe I'm just supposed to play for Him, to be content in who He is to me, and who I am to Him. There may be hundreds of people at one of my performances, but in God's economy, those numbers may not line up with my expectations.  Is that ok?  Gratitude makes it so.He may have something totally different planned for how He wants to use me and my music in that place.So, with open, grateful hands, I give thanks.I give thanks for the opportunity to share my music with anyone.  Because really, no one has to listen to me play, right?In our home, we have a little framed quote on our counter that says “Gratitude turns what we have into enough.”  Did you catch that?Maybe it's enough to simply play my guitar and enjoy that.That's some good perspective, isn't it? I'd also say that it's much more attainable to experience serious fun if we are grateful.Further Thoughts on GratitudeGratitude is not a seasonal thing.  It can be, but the best practice as a follower of Christ is to be grateful as often as possible.Rehearsing the Lord's faithfulness is such a great way to give us encouragement, to strengthen our hearts.  Christ was an excellent example of this.  Even before he fed the 5,000, with just five loaves and two fish, Jesus had a posture of gratitude.  According to the New International Version of Matthew 14, verse 19, Jesus gave thanks. In Luke 22, Jesus was in the upper room with his disciples, spending time with them for the last supper he would partake of before he was to be crucified. Even under those circumstances, what did he do before he served his disciples from the cup, and again before he broke the bread and gave it to them?  He gave thanks.  Twice.If gratitude is good enough for the Son of God, I would do well to follow his example.Another passage from Philippians – chapter 4, verses 6 and 7 reminds us, even in a season of struggle, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”I need that verse.  I need it very close to me, because my tendency is to worry, and to not be grateful.And I need to look at that verse with fresh eyes, because it is in danger of becoming so familiar that I don't really take it to heart.  I need to give thanks even as I present my requests to God.But do you know what? We can be grateful in all seasons, even the hard ones.  What happens when something we treasure is taken away?  Will we, like Job, still praise the name of the Lord?  That's a true test of our gratitude.It takes a spiritually mature response to say, “This is not what I would have wanted, but if the Lord wills it, I will still find something about it to be grateful for.”Can we still praise God when things are not going the way we want them to?  When we're struggling in times of need or illness?Worshiping and thanking the Lord in those seasons is a sweet kind of praise that pleases Him, perhaps even more than the praise that comes in seasons of prosperity and health.Here's a visual picture for you. Imagine if I was driving along, and I tried to press the accelerator (the gas pedal) in my car, while simultaneously applying the brake.That's not effective.  If the accelerator is gratitude, and the brake is complaining, they really cannot occupy the same space.Following this logic, I can't complain and be grateful at the same time…at least not about the same thing. And even if I'm grateful about one thing and simultaneously taking time to complain about something else, I'm not giving the full measure of attention to either posture.It's so much better to relinquish the tendency to complain, and to embrace gratitude.Who likes to be around a complainer?  Usually, other complainers.  Misery loves company, right?Who likes to be around a grateful person?  Almost everybody…perhaps not a complainer, because, well, they can't be as miserable as they want to be.But if I'm given a choice, I like to spend time with grateful people.  They help me to be even more grateful.So, in this season of thanksgiving, and always, let's be grateful for however many fingers we have, however well we can hear, and however much we're able to enjoy playing and sharing music.We have no guarantee of tomorrow (really, we have no guarantee of our next breath.)Our health and the functionality of our bodies, while it is present, is something to be tremendously grateful for.  When I see my guitar abilities through that lens, I'm humbled and I claim a fresh perspective.The people we can share our music with won't always be here with us on earth either. There are people I've cared deeply about, with whom I've shared my music in collaboration, and people I've served by singing and playing for them, who are now at home with the Lord.Now is the time.  It's the time to give thanks, to sing and play songs about how grateful we are, to worship the Lord through it all, and to let gratitude permeate every note we play.Hopefully, today's discussion yielded some insights into tools that are out there, like the Third Hand Capo and the SpiderCapo. Maybe it inspired you to tune your guitar creatively.Maybe it gave you some practical guitar strategies, like wearing a blindfold or lowering the lights temporarily while you practice.Maybe it provided some thoughts on how to take better care of your hands.But most of all, I'm hoping that this episode provided some good perspective, through helpful reminders of how blessed we all are, and how grateful we can be.What are you grateful for, especially with regard to your musical journey?  I'd love to know.Feel free to leave a comment below.  And please consider sharing these thoughts with others by telling them about this episode.Lastly, if you're looking for a grateful group of like-minded Christian guitarists, I encourage you to look into joining GuitarSuccess4U.  This is a community I lead, as I pour my knowledge and heart into their guitar journeys. And for that I'm deeply grateful.Do you know what else I'm grateful for, right now?  Your willingness to take time to receive and reflect upon these words I've put together.  I'm so glad you chose to listen today.  Thank you.  I'll see you next time.Thanks for reading Guitar Serious Fun!

Have you ever tried Pilates? It's a popular form of exercise that was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century.  It's now a worldwide fitness trend and it's often used as a form of rehabilitation for lower back pain or injury, and recovery after childbirth.  Gab and Sarah look at what Pilates actually involves and if it lives up to the hype.

How many times have you set yourself a big fitness goal? Did you achieve it? Research shows that having really specific and fixed goals can actually be a deterrent rather than a motivator.  In recent years there's been a shift away from the traditional method of goal-setting known as SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timebound); towards a more flexible approach. Gab and Sarah explain the idea behind ‘open goals', and how this is proving to be a more effective way of achieving a fitness target.

No matter how hard you try, it can often feel like your fitness isn't improving. It's so disappointing when you've been doing the same workouts over and over and you don't see any progress in your strength, or number of reps, or cardiovascular fitness. Even when you've been consistent with your exercise, sometimes it feels like you've hit a wall and you can't get past it. So what do you do when your progress has stalled? Gab and Sarah explain how to reframe the way you measure progress, and look for the many ways you are making headway (even when it doesn't feel like it).

This episode we're talking endocannabinoids and sports bras (the two are not related!). For years it was thought that the “runner's high” was due to the release of endorphins.  Endorphins are chemicals that are produced by the body to relieve stress and pain, and they work on the opioid receptors in the brain (the same receptors that opiate drugs like morphine act upon). An increasing body of evidence suggests that this so-called “runner's high” is notdue to the release of endorphins but is instead due to the release of another type of neurochemical called endocannabinoids. And yes, the word endocannabinoid sounds a lot like the word cannabis, and in the same way that endorphins act upon the opiate receptors in the brain, endocannabinoids act upon the same cannabinoid pathways as cannabis.   Sarah explains why it's theoretically possible to get a little “high” on exercise, and Gab has some sports bra recommendations for you to check out.

Do you listen to music when you exercise? For Gab and Sarah, a banging playlist is essential. Sometimes the only way to stay motivated during a workout is to turn up the volume and focus on the tunes.

How often do you criticise yourself? When it comes to exercise, we can be way too hard on ourselves. We might believe things like we're not ‘sporty', or that we don't have any athletic ability. Most of these ‘beliefs' come from things people have said to us and have no basis in reality. Gab and Sarah tackle negative self-talk and why what you say to yourself matters.

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is a group of common conditions that are an increasing problem due to the intensive use of computers and postural related problems today. This podcast will discuss some of the more common repetitive strain conditions and how to manage any symptoms. Featuring Health Adviser Annie Watson-Foulds and MSK Physiotherapists, Will Kenton and Karen O’Hara.

Mark Mirchandani is back this week as he and co-host Brian Dorsey learn all about voice coding with some great guests! Emily Shea, senior software engineer at Fastly and user of Talon Voice, and Ryan Hileman, developer of Talon Voice, tell us about Repetitive Strain Injury and how it led to the design and use of Talon Voice. Talon allows not only straight voice input but includes eye tracking, noise recognition, and user customization to perform complex actions like moving windows, selecting text, and user-specific workflow customizations without touching any hardware. Emily describes her experiences with Talon, including the process to get started and how she looked past voice recognition stereotypes to find how useful the product could be. She demos Talon for us, explaining how the alphabet system works. Ryan types a sentence using his voice then explains the process of developing the alphabet and other parts of Talon. Later, Ryan and Emily tell us how they write code using Talon and the logistics of using the software at home or in the office. We end the show talking about how Talon and voice recognition software have helped people with and without debilitating injuries and given hope to those spending hours on computers every day. Emily stresses the importance of adding accessibility to websites to accommodate Talon users and others with disabilities. Emily Shea Emily is a Senior Software Engineer at Fastly, where she works on the platform for delivering core Edge Cloud configurations.

Dr. Kirsten Fliegler is a Clinical Psychologist in New York City who specializes in mindbody disorders. She worked closely with the late Dr. John E. Sarno, who popularized modern mindbody treatment and coined the term Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS) to describe certain psychogenic conditions.She gives an overview of TMS and its treatment, examines how personality and environment can affect one’s likelihood of developing chronic pain, and explains why it’s healthier to experience one’s raw emotions, rather than suppress or intellectualize them.

Eyestrain is one of the most common problems associated with computer use is eyestrain, which is also known as “computer vision syndrome” or “digital eyestrain.” Symptoms can include eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision, dry or burning eyes and neck and shoulder pain. These symptoms may be caused by poor lighting, glare and improper viewing distance for posture, and uncorrected vision problems.  Deborah answers a letter from a listener about this issue.  

San Francisco hand surgeon Robert Markison, MD, gives us a rundown of the most common common ways that the nerves becomes injured, the symptoms of this injury, how they are treated -- and that all-important question: Why do nerve injuries take so long to heal?  

Most people never think about the body unless something goes wrong with it. This seems to be especially common with the hand – and a certain digit in the hand, the thumb. What could possibly go wrong? But ask anybody who has injured their thumb and prepare for a laundry list of all the things that it does for you: it gives you a power grip, the ability to open jars and doorknobs. And if it’s not working properly – it can lead to a world of problems. Today we’re going to hear from Dr. Robert Markison,  Clinical Professor of  Surgery at the University of California San Francisco. Dr. Markison will explain why the thumb is so at risk for injuries -- and how we can protect them!

Welcome to The Crochet Circle Podcast. Here are the show notes from Episode Ten - Take Two.    In this episode we will be covering: Yay Crochet or Nay Crochet; the (almost) final instalment of our Yarn Club Review; Yarn Review of The Big Scary Bear Alpaca DK; Copyright; Take Two; FOs; WIPs; Feeding the Habit and our final segment What's Good?   This podcast is sponsored by my online crafting company, Provenance Craft Co. and Lynne Rowe Knitting and Crochet Thanks to everyone who tunes into the podcast whether it is through Stitcher, Podbean, Spotify, iTunes or the YouTube Channel. Your support and engagement are really appreciated and makes running a podcast very special and worthwhile.    If you would like to support the podcast, you can do that through Patreon:   and Lynne Rowe Knitting and Crochet   Hello to Lisanif (Lisa), Soundzik (Marianna) and Monknitker (Amanda) from Ravelry.   Thanks to everyone that tunes in to our podcast whether it is through Stitcher, Podbean, iTunes or our new YouTube Channel.  Your support and engagement are really appreciated. We love doing the podcast and it makes it even more worthwhile knowing that there are people that really love it and are sat at their computers pressing refresh on publish day!    The person that has the closest birthday to our publish date is Littlefrog (Tania) - Happy Birthday Tania!   1. Yay Crochet or Nay Crochet It' a Nay from Lynne: This month I've suffered from Repetitive Strain Injury from my crochet, mainly due to a number of combined reasons - I was using a metal hook, the hook was small in size, my stitches were small and I was wrangling to get my hook into them for the particular stitch type I was using (I normally use a hook with a soft grip handle and a metal hook on the end, but I didn't have the size needed). To remedy this I crocheted in short bursts and wore a pair of fingerless mittens whilst crocheting, which stops the metal touching my skin and prevents the pain from occurring.   Fay: It's a yay from me.  I have said many times that I am quite a warm-bodied person and am usually stripping off rather than putting on layers. My friend and neighbour, Gill, pops in to see if I want to go for a walk and the weather has definitely taken a turn for the colder in Cheshire.  It has been too cold to go out with bare hands, but not cold enough to necessitate full gloves.  Given that all of the samples for Take Two have been sat in my kitchen, I just keep on diving into the bag to pull out my version of Lynne's pattern, Baltum which is a pair of fingerless mittens. They have given the perfect amount of warmth for our country walks.    2. Yarn Club Review The final instalment of our Yarn Club Review is from another Crochet Circler, Charlotte (purplehayescrochet on IG and Charlottemhayes on Ravelry), who has subscribed to two Clubs: Crochyay! and Little Box of Crochet. Charlotte's full review is going to be loaded onto the 'Things to know about yarn clubs' board, but here are the main points about the two box clubs that she has been receiving:   Little Box of Crochet is a monthly box that costs £17.45 and is done on a monthly rolling subscription although you can sometimes pick up additional boxes. Charlotte has been receiving this box since April 2016. Crochyay! is also monthly and costs £22.50 & P&P and you can also buy the boxes as a one-off.  Charlotte received her first box in October 2016.   With both boxes, you receive at least one pattern, the yarn required and lots of treats such as handmade stitch markers or a project bag. Charlotte has made most of the things from all of the boxes she has received with the exception of a Little Box of Crochet pin cushion because it isn't her type of thing.  She has simply stashed the yarn instead and will use it in another project. The yarns used have been great and have made Charlotte try yarns that were new to her.  The only one that she was less keen on was Rico cotton because it split a lot.   LBC generally sends out cotton-based yarn and Crochyay! has been acrylic/cotton so far.   The projects come with enough yarn for each project and the only time that Charlotte ran out, it was because her gauge was off but the yarn was readily available so she was able to go and buy more. Both boxes contain full written instructions.  LBC also use handy photos as part of a step by step guide and Crochyay has lovely big text which makes the patterns very easy to read and follow.   In October the LBC project was a tea cosy which Charlotte loved because she is a bit of a tea jenny.  The Crochyay project was a pair of mittens with a half heart on each, making a full heart when placed together.   All of the patterns have been easy to follow and Charlotte hasn't needed any pattern support. She has loved receiving both boxes and particularly loves receiving a surprise every time, making things that she wouldn't normally crochet and has particularly liked supporting small businesses. Charlotte does intend on moving to just one subscription and says that it will most likely be Crochyay! because the patterns are more modern and fit with her style. 3. Yarn Review - The Big Scary Bear Alpaca DK The Big Scary Bear is a relatively new company, owned by Richard and Karen Collier and is based in a small semi-rural village is Essex. Their fleece is sourced from their own herd of alpacas who live with them at Bramble Cottage, along with their six pygmy goats, two cats and two rabbits. The fleece is hand-sorted and graded before being spun into yarn by a specialist spinning mill in Oxfordshire. Their yarn is 100% alpaca and the ball band is made from recycled material. They have 6 shades available, all of which are lovely, soft hues, including Cream, Brown, Ginger, Navy, Cinnamon Grass, Pebble, Teaberry and Seafoam.   About the Yarn: DK weight/21 sts and 28 rows over 10x10cm in stocking stitch £6 per 50g ball.   We used a ball of yarn to knit up a test square using our standard test square pattern. Fay crocheted a premature baby hat with the remainder of the ball and Lynne crocheted a pair of mittens with a fresh ball.     Lynne: The knitted swatch shows that the stitch definition is really clear, with moss stitch, cables and stocking stitch. I love how there are flecks of lighter colour here and there where the dye hasn't fully taken, which creates a mildly semi-solid appearance. The yarn is incredibly soft and could be worn next to the skin and even I could wear it around my sensitive neck, which is fab. It is great to knit with too - the yarn slid through my fingers beautifully and created a nice, firm stitch. My test square blocked out beautifully and I'm itching to start a neck cosy in Fair Isle with it. The tension isn't on the ball band, but it knitted up almost to a standard double knitting (light worsted) tension of 21 sts and 28 rows to 10x10cm over stocking stitch. I also wanted to test it out for crochet, so I've started a pair of crocheted fingerless mittens using half treble crochet in the round. Again, the stitch definition is perfect and they are incredibly soft and really warm.   Fay: This is beautiful to work with and I felt that it really maintained the halo and sheen that I would expect from alpaca.  The yarn has been nicely plyed and so there were no issues with the yarn splitting when I was crocheting and it was a dream to run through my fingers.     I think that the pricing point is incredible for something that is 100% British and I would happily use this to make a garment with.  It feels like the company is in its infancy and I really hope that it goes well for them.   The only slight downside I had was that the dye in the teaberry shade wasn't completely exhausted and so a little came out when I washed it. However, this is the case with many yarns and so it is always worth testing a small cut of yarn in lukewarm water to see if it is dye-fast. This is particularly important if you are using more than one colour.     4. Copyright In our Take Two book, we encourage you to take our designs and change them up - if you don't like the yarn weight, then use something different, if you want to make it simpler then leave something out or if you're not keen of the colours, change them. However, all of the patterns are fully copyrighted to either Lynne or Fay, so even though you may tweak something in any published pattern, it doesn't mean that you can then publish the tweaked version as your own. There have been a few instances recently on social media where designers are finding that distinctive elements of their designs have been incorporated into another designer's pattern. Sometimes this has been something very obvious like a Fair Isle pattern, or it can be that the whole design looks almost identical. This sometimes happens purely by coincidence, after all, there are only so many ways to crochet a leaf or a granny square. So the best thing to do with a tweaked pattern is to add your FO to the designer's Ravelry page, then in the notes, you can document your tweaks.   5. Take Two Created and published by Lynne and Fay, from designing, sample testing, pattern styling and pattern checking, photography and book layout.     TAKE TWO is a collection of 8 crochet patterns, each shown as two designs - sixteen patterns.   We used some amazing yarns for our main designs, all of which have been spun in the north of England and in some cases grown there too. We each designed 4 patterns each which we passed to each other to remake in our own style using yarn from our stash. This wasn't a problem as we both have rather large stashes. We were keen to show that our designs could be made using the original yarns spun in the north of England, or they can be made using yarn that may be hiding at the bottom of your stash, waiting to be turned into something lovely. TAKE TWO is our first collection and includes a variety of easy-to-make crochet essentials including Colosseum (an asymmetrical shallow shawl); Auchincruive (a cowl); Skogafoss (a stylish messenger bag); Paraphernalia (a notions pouch or purse); Galicia (a long cowl); Baltum (a pair of fingerless mittens); Phasian (a textured Granny Square Blanket); Chrysanth (a textured circular cushion).   You can buy: A printed copy (which includes a digital download) £12 (we are currently taking pre-orders and hope that the hard copy will arrive during the third week of December, ready to be posted out ASAP).  When you buy the hard copy, you receive an instant digital download, or a digital copy £10 can also be purchased from Ravelry (search 'Take Two' under books) or from www.provenancecraft.com       We'd love to see your finished makes and you can add them to our Ravelry page and our discussion board FO thread.     6. WIPS Lynne: not much progress on WIPS - I'm focussing on one thing at a time now, to try and bring my FOs down to a more manageable level. My 12 WIPS are: Aran Tweed Blanket - working on the border/2 pairs of socks - no progress/Mother-in-Law's Travis blanket - no progress/Manos del Uruguay Shawl - own design - no progress/Accordion Fingerless mittens - no progress/Lopi Cushion - no progress/Wrist Warmers - no progress/Odeletta Shawl - no progress (I started this again with a heavier weight yarn)/Cabled mittens - one more to make/Baltum mittens in WYS DK - one more to make/Lisa Sweater - no progress/crocheted mittens for testing The Big Scary Bear - one more to make. I've frogged the Sausage Dog - I took out the toy filling to re-use and frogged the knitting, wound it into balls and it went to the charity shop as I would never use the colours myself. I've finished my Abraham Shawl.   Fay: There has been no attention paid to my Shorelines blanket or TARDIS cushion and that will remain the case until next year now - I just have too many other things to get on with.  Lots of time has been spent on the two Uncia shawls because I have to have them ready for the second weekend in December - hmmm.  I also have a HOP.  I am now calling a sock a Half Of Pair because if it is a sock, you would have to hop. The pattern is 'Solar' by Gill (Gilly Slater on Ravelry and it is free) one of the Woolgathering Sandbach goers.  I really love the vertical lace pattern and the bottle green makes me think of school uniforms and being eight again.     7. FOs Lynne: Abraham Shawl (knitted) made with stash yarns from John Arbon (Knit by Numbers) and Artesano (Superwash DK)/Christmas bauble (knitted) for a Christmas Swap/Test Square using The Big Scary Bear/Take Two Skogafoss Bag, Paraphernalia/various commission: knitted baby bootees, crocheted baby shoes, Daisy May next crocheted outfit, a crocheter flower wreath, a teeny tiny knitted panda and a crocheted sheep.     Fay: I have made a third and fourth version of Paraphernalia so that I could show it off in other sizes and double, double-check the measurements and amount of wool required.  There was also the premature baby hat for the local hospital but I will make a few of them before I hand them over.  Emma from Woolgathering has given birth to a baby girl, Matilda, and so a few of us have crocheted a pram blanket for her and I managed to finish that off over this weekend.  I also fired out the Newham hat from The Crochet Project's latest book, Raw and there is more to come on that in the next podcast.   The problem I face at the moment is that I just want to start all of the projects and have really had to stop myself!   Here are Fay's needle felting projects and knitted stockings, the Newham hat in John Arbon Knit by Numbers 4ply and Mamble socks in Shropshire Ply from Ewe & Ply from Raw. The baby blanket that Woolgathering folk worked on for Emma's baby and a premature hat for the local hospital.  The hat was in The Big Scary Bear Alpaca in Teaberry and the blanket used Blue Sky Cotton and Evie from Sublime.             8. Feeding the Habit Lynne: No new purchases this month for me - all yarns used were supplied for commissions or were in my stash including West Yorkshire Spinners Aire Valley DK, Garthenor Organics Wensleydale (4ply), Rico Essentials Cotton DK, King Cole Merino Blend 4ply, Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino and Sublime Superfine Alpaca. That said - I've just purchased a skein of chunky hand-dyed yarn from Petra Black (Made By Black Elephant) - ethically sourced yarns, hand-dyed in Yorkshire. If yarn isn't local then it is ethically sourced and supports the communities that produce it (mulesing free).     Fay: I got my third and last instalment of my Life in the Long Grass yarn club which is called Chlorophyll and I can see why!  I also went to Yarnporium which was great fun and picked up some new Gotland from Midwinter Yarns and a very special skein from Helen at The Wool Kitchen which is most likely going to be used as my yarn for the Christmas CAL.     The other thing that I have purchased is a daylight lamp.  I have been struggling to see the pattern properly for the Uncia shawls and under the guidance of my friend Jenny, went to Hobby Craft to buy the Naturalight portable LED lamp.  What a difference this has made to my nighttime crochet and knitting activity!  You can use it with the internal rechargeable battery, via mains electricity or a USB cable which would be perfect for car crafting.  I am so impressed with this and it is currently reduced from £20 down to £15.  It gives off a white rather than a blue light which means that is isn't likely to set off migraines.   The yarn that I didn't have to purchase was the yarn haul that my Dad brought back from Iceland.  I have a sweater quantities worth of Lett-Lopi and some new Icelandic yarn that I hadn't seen before from Gusto, an Alpaca/Icelandic mix.     1 - 100% Gotland yarn from Midwinter Yarns (mustard 293, Peacock Blue 174 & Dark Grey 960). 2 - Erika Knight for John Lewis DK is 100% South American wool, dyed, spun and balled in the UK (Citrine 04). 3 - The newest of Erika's lines for John Lewis is XXL, 250g with 55m shown in Dusky Pink. 4 - Mini Skeins from Baa Ram Ewe in their base Titus shown Dalby, Parkin & Bantum (top to bottom). 5 - Newest wool available from Daughter of a Shepherd is Foxen meets Merino. 6 - The wonderous The Wool Kitchen skein - I really should have bought two!  This is in the colourway Denim.  7 - Icelandic wool is a firm favourite of mine, especially if it has come from one of my Dad's trips to Iceland.  This is Lettlopi and is destined to become a jumper.  The shade is Ocean Blue. 8 - A new to me Icelandic yarn brand called Gusta is a mixture of Icelandic wool and alpaca from Peru.  The one shown above is shade Coal Grey (2500) and is a fair bit softer than 100% Icelandic wool... 9 - The final instalment of my Life in the Long Grass has arrived and is called Chlorophyll.  I initially didn't really like this colour but it has grown on me and I find that I keep on going back to it to see all of the colours that are hidden throughout the skein.    9. What's Good? Lynne: I'm looking forward to a new year and being really organised. I say this every year, but it's definitely going to happen this year. I shall look forward to buying some shiny new stationery and making lists. Fay: It has been good doing the podcast with Lynne.  It has been great for me having left a small team to have somebody to bounce ideas off and work with. As said we will continue to work together and already have plans afoot for Take Two, Collection Two...   Happy listening and crocheting,   Fay and Lynne x   Instagram: Crochet_Circle_Podcast  Instagram: provenance.craft.co   Instagram: FayDHDesigns YouTube: The Crochet Circle Podcast Crochet Clan on Mighty Network: Invite    

Laura Miner has had repetitive strain injury since 1991. Here she shares with listeners what she wishes she had known then.

Maybe you’re sitting at your desk right now and you’re experiencing some pain for a while, so you have decided that it’s finally time to get that new chair or an economic keyboard or a sit/stand desk. You invite the ergonomics consultant in, spend a bundle on new products – maybe your new chair is a little more comfortable than your old one, but your pain isn't gone. What happened? You thought, as many people do, that having the right equipment solve your problems and banish your pain. And you are very surprised to learn that it didn’t really work the way you hoped it would.

Repetitive strain injury (RSI) affects millions of people worldwide. Maurits van Tulder from VU University Medical Centre, Amsterdam, author of a seminar in this week's issue, comments how quality research about RSI is needed to further understanding of this debilitating condition

Surely the weeks are going by twice as fast as normal aren't they? I can't believe we're into December, with all that entails. It'll be – you know what – before we know it! The only sensible course of action, I feel, is to immerse ourselves in some interesting and thought-provoking material. To be honest, I don't know where one would begin to look for that, so I hope you'll accept the latest edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast, by way of a humble substitution. To save my wrists from Repetitive Strain Injury, I'll talk you through the new edition if you would be so kind as to click the appropriate button.
