Fret Hand Fatigue

Keep your elbow up so the arm-wrist juncture is straighter. Avoid baseball bat grip. Make sure you're not fighting neck dive. And some necks just suck for certain hands. I think it has a lot to do with the length of the area called the "anatomical snuffbox - the area between the base of your thumb and the base of the first finger(where people would often set a pile of snuff to snort). If that area is big, small necks feel too thin. If that area is small,big necks feel clunky. Mine is big so all I can say is, "I like big necks and I cannot lie, other brothers they may deny..."

Sorry, all the juice I had for that one...late.
