Do wristband inhibit picking speed tense up your arms

777 · 08-26-2006, 04:17 PM

ok got my kikass slayer wristbands on today and played guitar the left wrist is fine but my arm (elbow area) seems to be tensing with the right one(picking hand) so i took one that one off, no tension put bk on mildtension

ok i can play with the right wristband off yeah but when im worried if i wear it ,it will do the same thing to my arm tension when not playing guitar so when i got bak to play even with it off my arm will be tense

is that posible?

What are you talking about? Wristbands are pretty practical, not gay.

No one wants their hands to get all sweaty and then accidently drop a pick mid song.

i don't know if this the placebo effect or what, but I usually wear a fairly big on when I'm playing. I feel it keeps my wrist, and gives a bit more endurance. Other than that, it hasn't been a problem to me

Just make sure it isn't too tight

well it presses into my wrist not tight but grippy enough

Loomer the wristbands could be giving you a compression effect. Promoting better blood flow helping with fatigue.

Are they the rubber wristbands? Those 2 dollar ones that for cancer or some other cause?

I'd never wear those ones while playing, that will definately slow you down if it grips the body.

Hell, i'd never wear one of those anyway

Sometimes my right wristband interferes a little with my picking, so now I just wear it closer to my elbow. It's out of the way, and it still keeps sweat off of my hand.
