Autumn Leaves Touchstyle

one of my favorite jazz standards. Kind of out of practice, but I was jamming on it for a while today. Enjoy... I welcome your critique.

I like tha playing, I just feel I have to say this - watch your left hand while tapping! the angle you place your wrist at while tapping is cutting off the nerves and WILL cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Great playing, I just feel you should know this - touch guitar has a health risk

left hand or right hand? left hand feels pretty good, right hand is all contorted from melody playing.

yeah, I've had some wrist problems, and I know some great stretches, but you're totally right. I definitely limit my touchstyle playing.

I got this comment from you about your ps echols guitar some months ago. I would really love to hear from you so we could chat about our instruments! do you use AIM? I am MatthewL329 on aim, please drop a line.

Youre right - I meant your right hand. If you ever see stanley jordan playing, youll notice that when he hits a low not, his entire body moves to the left - he does this to avoid angeling the wrist. Its actaully not too difficult to make your right (Tapping) hand point towards the headstock while playing - this will just save you problems in the long run
