GUEST,Tony Rath aka Tonyteach	Guitarists - Dupuytrens Contracture (42)	RE: Guitarists - Dupuytrens Contracture	28 Aug 14
I am 69 with biggish hands ( can easily do 11ths on the piano) I have been a weight trainer for 18 years and play classical guitar - acoustic and piano for up to 6 - 7 hours a day as part of my job. No problems so far BUT 1 No barre chords on steel strings - I use drop 2 or 3 chords or 4 string chords 2 12 is the heaviest I go on acoustic 3 I do weights every day to work the hands 4 Correct hand position is vital - wrist for fretting should not be bent - ie guitar neck very high 5 No thumb over the top - even on a narrow neck Just thanking whatever gods there are that I have escaped this one so far
