I feel for you Git I too suffer from carpel tunnel syndrome. The pain ,cramping and numbness can drive you crazy. Playing guitar is my passion and escape from this tough world we live in. I can't vision my life without playing. So avoiding surgery at all costs is my motto. Takes up to a year to recover with no guarantees.
Have you tried a Chiropractor? I have been going for over a year now and its been working. The therapy's adjustments and exercises have made a great difference. I'm not a 100% but its now manageable and I'm still playing (with less pain and discomfort)
Best of luck

One marriage rule I've always lived by

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!!!
I bought the Digiteck RP 90 it was well within my budget and it does some amazing things including drum patterns as dfosky said. Been playing with it all week and cant say enough about it. Its opened up a whole new world for an old acoustic player.
thanks again guys

Topic: Need Electric guitar hardware advice (7 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I've been playing acoustic all my life just getting into electric guitar. I roam the music shops amazed at the amount of accessories, I don't know where to start.
I have the guitar and a good Marshall amp any suggestions on which effects pedal I should start with? Or what the next piece of hardware should be. I get different answers at different shops. Thanks for your time
