    Let the other guys in the band know your thoughts. Maybe they think along the same lines. That way you all can be on the same page and maybe dismiss the rummmy drummy. Dont bail ona good thing if you all can see it fixed. Good luck

    Difficulty with fingers on stage lately

    I was getting some physical therapy on my shoulder once. I asked my PT to do a little work on my forearm and hand as I was having the same issues. He was surprised how tense my arm and hand were.

    RotoSound Custom Flatwound Steve Harris Strings...

    Great thanks for the input fellas! Im going to give them a try. Haven't really played around with a lot of different strings. Maybe I should make notes and save them as to how I like/dislike them. Then I can allway go back and compare each new and different set of string I try out.

    So the Rotosound Custom Flatwound Steve Harris Signature strings.............good stings, good marketing, or both? Being a huge Maiden fan i definitely fell victim to the marketing of these strings. But, are they decent ones to use. How do they play, sound feel? Anyone have any...
