Re: Learning new tricks

I found the neckstrap causing pressure at strange angles, and am doing better without. It's one of many things that are supposed to help that I'm finding actually hinder. Like "breathing from the diaphragm." I'm having great success unlearning that one at the moment.

The neckstrap only really becomes "necessary" when you practice long hours without stretching or taking enough breaks.

Bell-resting would also restrict your playing angle and mobility, which I think would be detrimental. Plus, you can only do it while sitting.
