Have been struggling with my left hand getting weaker, finally went to the doc and it makes sense. pinched nerve. my sudden inability to fret any notes now makes sense. It is literally so weak I could not depress a set of fingernail clippers hard enough to clip a nail.
He says it will be 6-8 weeks before it is useable...which seems an eternity.
Are there exercises one can do maintain if not improve their mandolining when they cannot physically use the instrument? with the piano I can work on right hand stuff, with the mandolin I can do some pick stuff I guess, but it feels like that would be marginally useful without improving my fretting...
Actually, as I type this I think...resting fingers above the correct scale and chord locations would be one thing. I will do that. But with so much combined, accumulated experience and wisdom wondering what other ideas folks might have
