Stiffness in my knuckles...  | | I play guitar quite a bit, sometimes for 3-4 hours a day. Maybe even longer if I'm not busy. I play pretty hard, like fretting harder than I should.
My problem is, I've started to get really stiff and sore knuckles. Sometimes I can't close my fist all they way, with my left hand. I was wondering if this should be anything to worry about? I've heard people tell me that it's fine to practice over 8 hours a day, so 3-4 shouldn't be too much, although I wonder if fretting too hard makes a difference.
If your knuckles were stiff and sore, would you get them checked out? I don't want to go to the doc, but I will, if it could do real damage.

themdno (133) | 5 months ago | Oh, I should have mentioned, it doesn't go away for a couple days when it happens. I think I'm probably okay, I just twist my finger a bit, so I can get longer reach, and I think that puts a little added pressure on my knuckle.

Your hands would get used to it, and somehow sort of practicing your hands. It would help you and make you play best in your guitar.
