Question: How did you determine how many panels you needed and where to put them?
-
That’s as cool win @Mike-Gaurnier . I can’t lead with the index finger on the barre chords, because I can’t get the correct pressure or angle I need to play the chord. i have to start with putting my pinky and ring finger down and then followed with the middle and index.

Sorry to hear of the set back with the tendinitis @Ted_D . It actually is a common ailment of repetitive use, but one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. You want to avoid it becoming a bigger problem. Think of it as a temporary pause. There are over the counter topical creams that you can use for pain and inflammation. There is also physical therapy. Other things to keep you busy are logging into the site daily and watching the lesson videos, even though you can’t participate. You can become more active in the forums during the downtime.

@branman I like the ascetic look of your panels. Is it too forward of me to ask what all the panels cost? That must have been a pretty pennies worth. Where did you purchase them?

Thank you for the info. I’m turning a room (larger) into a music/art studio, and the walls are pretty bare right now, so I’ll definitely have to hang some things. What about flooring. My entire house is wood floors (older home), and there is a definite echo/cavernous sound in the rooms. Do you put a carpet/rug down on the floor to absorb some of the noise? Sorry for all the questions — I a technically disinclined person.

I was introduced to Arnica last year, and I think it is a great tool. In addition to reset, I think the ice/heat are a great recommendation also.

It is simply finding the sweet spot for your fingers. Keep at it, and you’ll be amazed one day how little pressure you’ve applied but have gotten a clear crisp chord.
