Re: Hand Pain During FFcP
A lot of pain is kind of alarming. I've never had hand pain like that, but wrist/forearm tendonitis multiple times from bass guitar, viola, other string instruments. I assume you're working out of Eschlimann's Getting into Jazz, which is a great book.
We can't tell if you're warming up, have good ergonomics or whatever but there are things you can do to reduce string tension and reduce the stretches. For the former, lighter gauge strings, tune down a half or even full step, lower the action. For reducing stretches, you can transpose up the neck or use alternate chord voicings/inversions.
