Hey Ben!
Sean, re: tendonitis… what I have is more or less a permanent injury, or well, an obstacle. The tricep in the right arm is always a bit sore due to long hours of practice with poor posture when I was young but there are stretches and weights that I do to keep it in good nick. I had physio therapy in the 90s and the guy told me to bring in my guitar and showed me at what point my arm was tensing up too much, so it made me a way more economical player in terms of effort and movement.
I’ve been doing so much rhythm work on the new album that right now my arm is in great shape. Doing some hybrid picking stuff too and years ago that would have killed. I had to stop classical guitar lessons back in the day because of the whole thing but right now all is pretty good.
