The guitar is making my wrist hurt. Help?

Question

So i just started about two weeks ago. I am not suffering any finger pain because i play basketball and my fingers are already pretty tough, so i didn't have any of those issues. The problem is that the tendons in my wrist hurt. I play like 2 hours daily when i get the chance. Which is a lot because i have a lot of free time. And i can feel my wrist joints being tighter.

Answer 1

maybe its the way you play the guitar, ive been playing for 12 years and one of the most important thing ive learned all this time is that you should control the amount of tension you put on your joints and muscles. play smoothly and start slowly let the muscle memory take over and speed should come as a glorious byproduct of accuracy and patience. and do not bend your wrists while playing. remember the tension
