Seems there are now health risks to playing guitars in addition listening to them.

Does Sandman have guitar nipple ?
Does Bassman suffer from fiddler’s neck ?
Guitars can certainly cause injuries:
[Edit: I had linked to an image at www. oddsandsods.imdanet. com/ john_smash.jpg, but they no longer want me to link directly to it. It’s of a guy smashing a guitar on someone. ]
i thought sandman played the sexyphone…least he did when i jammed with him sometime last century
I get bouzouki nipple but not guitar nipple. Must be something to do with the size. Its no joke, actually – hurts like hell.
I don’t get guitar nipple, but sometimes my flute takes a beating.
My girlfriend plays my flute, but her fingering is off, and she usually gives up before hitting the high notes. I shouldn’t fault her for the latter though, since I have difficulty finding the G.
I read up on flute playing techniques and told her she is supposed to place the blow hole to her lips and form an airtight seal. I guess that way I wouldn’t have to shout “Watch those teeth!” or worry about abrasions. Other recommended multiple techniques include breath control, finger control, bending, tonguing, slurring, double tonguing, and vibrato. I’m willing to experiment. Apparently a lot of it is also in how you hold the barrel and adjust the bird.
Sometimes she’s not in the mood to play with it though, so I just slip it into its protective case and practice making sheet music. When she’s not around, I polish it obsessively, and my eyesight isn’t what it used to be.
Slurp - have you ever read “Finbarr Saunders and his Double entendres” in Viz comic? You’re worse than he is.
It’s a legitimate Chinese euphemism for exactly that.
Shimmers are you talking about slurpcheese’s reference to ‘playing the flute’?
Of course, I know what it means! That is why I mentioned Finbarr Saunders, a geek who takes juvenile delight in words and phrases with a potential double meaning related to sex.
Examples:
Mr. Parker is in the church playing with the vicar’s organ. “Funf!”
Sally’s cat fell in the pond. Now she is stroking her wet pussy. “Fnarr Fnarr!”
Spack: I know you know what was meant; that did not mean you also knew that the Chinese do refer to playing a jade flute.
I’ve never been afflicted with the aforementioned disorders, but when I play my guitar, I suck.
My left hand will start to ache if I play a lot of F and B chords.
