Everything you said was spot on Vasko... The brace is just called a wrist brace, Massaging the areas you described was excellent advice. Helps to get blood and oxygen circulated into the muscles and tendons (end of muscle attaching to the bone) Also when in severe pain, use ice wrapped in a piece of cloth or towel (never ice directly on skin) for 20 mins and moist heat for 20 mins. Alternating back and forth. Always start with cold and end in cold..

Ive literally just started playing and today I played for like 3 to 4 hours with my wrist bent like you showed. So, I’ve been in pain since a while, which got me to this video. Thank you so much. Also, I was thinking I’ve finally found the right hand placement for me. Couldn’t have been farther from the truth. Need to figure out a better way. Might even buy the brace to train my hand because I already have upper left arm issues.

thank you so much for this... I started playing about a month ago and the harder the chords got, the more my wrist hurt. I was keeping my arm too close to my body like you showed and it made my wrist bend too much. I was afraid I'd have to stop playing or I'd get my wrist hurt badly. I will try the exercises and if there's no improvement I will get a brace. Thank you for the great video.

Vasko - love that you’re doing Q&A! It adds another dimension to all this other great content you put out! I’d love to ask a question for consideration: Through your videos I’ve seen you play a couple of different ukuleles. Could you please share some information about your instruments, why you chose them, what you like about them, etc.? I started with a soprano but am looking to branch out to others. I know instrument choices are largely subjective but making a choice can be very overwhelming! It’d be wonderful to hear your perspective and personal preferences.

Truth: listen to your body when it whispers and it won't scream at you! My hand issue is that they have never been independent be from another. What exercise or scales can I do? Barres are hard because both hands make the same movement.

This is my first question for you: I really want to learn how to unlock the entire fretboard, as well as inversion chords. Do I need to go through scales or is there any better way to approach them?! I don‘t consider myself being a solo player as I love singing too much! But I think knowing the fretboard will be a plus in my musical learning journey... & last, 😂😂😂 I‘m not a Doctor! Go to see a doctor! most fun & sincere adviser! Appreciated your tips & sharing experience! Best!!! 💟

Wrist pain is a thing that I've been feeling a little bit lately, especially by repeating the bar chords.. it is sure that the tip of the wrist exercises before playing will be useful. Thank you Vasko. By the way, I'm curious to know what is the little simple song used in the background of this video? ☺

Nope. Go to your doctor and bring the ukulele. Play for him/her a little bit in the way that you feel the pain so he/she can understand better. I hope this helps
