I’ve been practicing a fair bit of power chords in the recent week, and have been plagued by wrist pain. I’m not sure if it’s because my wrist posture is off. Can someone tell me if this is bad:
Looking at my own photos, it doesn’t seem too different from Justin:
There have been discussions in the past about wrist pain. In that video, the guitar teacher (who isn’t Justin) says that the wrist should not be bent at all, i.e. the palm of the hand should be parallel to the floor. That is certainly comfortable, but I can’t figure out how to play power chords with the wrist completely straight.
Any ideas?
(Just to put it out there—I’m younger than Justin, so it’s definitely not the onset of arthritis.)
