My left wrist (the fretting-hand wrist, fuck) has the "triangular cartilage" a bit messed up, according to a doctor. I.e., it clicks when I play and gets sore easily. Fuck fuck fuck. Cartilage doesn't grow back. My plan now is to start working on my piano/keyboard chops, and hopefully get better at my composition/theory, so I can just write riffs for other people to play.

Yeah, the doctor (my dad, heh) told me I just can't play with my wrist at an extreme angle, i.e., no wide stretches for me. And with small-to-medium hands, I can't do a 1-3-5 or even a without bending my wrist a lot. So I'm just going to keep noodling around on guitar(writing rhythm riffs and such) and work on piano, where even good technique (i.e., shredding ) keeps your wrist more or less straight.

learn how to play left handed. I'm serious. I would, but then again most people aren't as obsessed about guitar as me.

I've been tempted, man, but I'm guessing picking would also irritate this -- it'd be going back and forth on the same cartilage.

No matter if he doens't feel the pain he'll just be destroying the little that is left of his wrist, not a very smart move.

Yeah, I'm just going to turn into Tuomas of Nightwish. I'll find a guitarist or two who can read music and play what I write, and BE THEIR GOD MUAHAHAHAHAHA. *cough, hack*

Just make sure if you gotta fire that neoclassical shredder, you dont hire a poprock guitarist instead

FUCK YES. After a two-hour session of metronome work on alternate picking today, starting from 60 and working my way up (mostly clean tone, I might add), I have finally started to develop a really solid, reliable picking technique. There are still kinks -- I need to get my single-string picking with this really fuckin' fast, and need to hammer on the PG-lick like there's no tomorrow -- but it's finally starting to come together. Funny how this starts when my fretting hand's wrist is damaged.
