 Re: I might be ruining my fingers and tendons slowly but surely

This has been touched on already. But I think it’s important to consult a teacher to get your technique sorted out. With proper technique, you shouldn’t be having these issues, even playing 3 hours per day, with frequent breaks of course. I’ve been playing 3-4 hour gigs all my life and never experienced anything like this unless I was holding the instrument wrong. None of my bandmates have had such issues either. So you're probably doing something wrong that a teacher could identify and fix pretty easily.

Low hanging fruit would be to play with a neck strap and sit your instrument on a stand when your not playing in order to take as much stress off your hands as possible. This is something to do after you’ve had enough of a break to recover from your current injuries.
