Thanks Moe! Excellent tips.
I haven't had any discomfort playing but I will keep that right shoulder in mind and make sure it doesnt get too high or become uncomfortable.
I will try the spider legs exercises and maybe come up with an exercise on my own, too. I do seem to need to take a few to acclimate myself when I pick it up, coming from my Ibanez.
I did just get the same strings put on it as my Ibanez and I'm even more in love with the sound! (Di'addario Nickel Bronze Custom Light 11/52.) Someday I will add a parlor to my collection too but I'll definitely enjoy this dread!
I had evey intention of picking up a used case for it today but I ended up walking out with a used soprano ukulele instead. Ha! More fun though! But now I'll have to adjust from my concert and tenor sizes to the soprano of the uke...hahaha! I guess the name of the game is "versatility". :)
Thanks again for the tips... :D
