Could improper fretting hand technique cause pain in a finger?
It doesn't feel like a muscle or tendon, sort of feels like the bone or the knuckle.
It doesn't bother me when I play guitar or bass.
So pressing down a heavy bass string is fine.
It started after I started mandolin, but that doesn't mean that's what caused it.
But I thought I'd ask the experts here if they think it's possible.
I know that the left hand position in playing mandolin is different than guitar--and I've been playing that way.
So maybe I was doing something wrong that hurt my finger (Just one of them-my middle finger) or maybe the different position is why it hurts on mandolin, but not guitar or bass.
Then again it could just be a sign of aging...
Thanks for any input.
Would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now?
