subgeek's Journal: guitar hero takes out tigers pitcher

so joel zumaya has this horrible pain that stops him from being able to play baseball for a few games. the athletic trainers determine the symptoms are more in line with guitar players than baseball pitchers. the culprit turns out not that the tigers pitcher has been playing too much actual guitar, but mr. zumaya's love of the game guitar hero. story here by way of [H].

i thought it was amusing.

That just made my Friday morning...

your sig still cracks me up.

i've noticed guitar hero can make my hands sore in a way that playing bass or guitar does not. i guess i hold my left hand differently when it's not a real instrument.

what a dork! ;)

it is kinda funny!

he should learn to play a real guitar. i'm convinced i've avoided RSI for so long because playing the guitar kept me hands/forearms limber and strong.

i haven't played for a couple months except here and there and now my hands/neck kill me. i need to get back to it!
