Re: Left Wrist Placement
Carl, I see in that second picture something similar to what I was doing. And it looks like there is a lot of pressure on that thumb. in my case, I was getting a large callous on the side of my thumb, kinda along the edge of where you see in your picture the flesh of the thumb is pressed in. I have been aware of this issue for over a year now. The callous has gone away, and I am not using the side of my thumb as much, but I notice myself slipping into this bad habit, especially when trying to play tunes at tempo in a ITM session. I am in the process of tearing it all down and using a left hand position that uses little or no pressure consistently.
