So one Fmaj chord voicing looks likes an open Dmaj, except on the 5th and 6th frets instead of the 2nd and 3rd frets (xxx565, low to high). What I was really trying to say there in my clumsy shorthand was the idea of the open position 3- and 4-note chord shapes, but moved over the neck as appropriate. And I should do more research into the whole thing, so maybe I'll do the search and post the link when I find it.īut I got the concepts I use from Bill (like I got all my guitars, most of my amps, and a huge number of my pedals. Do a search on CAGED on this forum and I think someone put one up. Pete - I believe there are websites on it. Once you regain control of your hand, you'll be able to relax it at will, anytime, like magic.

Pro players train hard to maintain a light grip on their racket in high pressure situations. A light touch is absolutely necessary to feel your way through a controlled shot. Too tight a grip leads to very little ball control and a clinical case of tennis elbow. The same kind of tense grip can affect tennis players, who must keep a relaxed grip on their racket to have control over their shot pace and placement.

The idea here is to try to artificially recreate the anxiety and helpless feeling you experience when the malady strikes (usually during a high pressure performance) so you can learn to consistently find your way out of it without being overcome or impeded by the fear turning in a bad performance. This will reaquaint yourself with and reinforce the process of moving from a tense grip to a relaxed grip.


You might also try starting your practice routines with a deliberately tight grip, relaxing your hand in stages until it's completely relaxed. You might first learn a couple of coping mechanisms, like playing more slowly or softly with much more space between lines, while you learn to become uncritically aware of the tension, advancing toward your goal of relaxing your grip. It won't happen instantly, but the hand once belonged to you, and you can take it back. Remedy? Refuse to accept this neurotic state of affairs and reclaim your hand and the responsibility for your tight grip. Too tense and anxious to loosen your grip, or your hand won't cooperate? What you have here is a dissociation reaction where you're separating your sense of self from your hand, which, of course, is psychological tom foolery that earthlings seem prone to do to themselves.
