    But how do I avaoid wrist pain when guitar drumming? I think I'm starting to get an injury from that wrist kick... I'm really into modern fingerstyle guitar and it will be a huge loss for me not to use it...

    @@auroranamex5886 hey it's been bout 5 years since i'm playing guitar percussions, and tbh, I haven't experienced such issues. maybe, the method of your kick is wrong. Try hitting the wrist a lol bit slowly and lowkey, so that you'll get a "decent" sound and it'll prevent injuries too! Hope it helps. Have a good day/night ahead! :)

    Chris, thank you for sharing your drum skills on this guiar lesson. These bring 4 styles add a whole new texture to acoustic performce! And you broke this technique down to the most basic components so that a non-drummer like me can follow it and use it. Man, I'm excited to take on this learning challenge and use it in my street performances. I know that my songs with this percussive style will be far more engaging for the listener. I'll follow up when I've successfully taken ownership - I'm a slow learner but once I have it, I own it. Cheers! : )

    Thanks for ruining my week. I've dabbled with my percussi-curious side, but had been happy to shelve it under 'I have enough mediocre techniques to improve already, thanks!' Then your video shows up in my suggestions list and two days later I've got a sore thumb, aching arm, and the dog's hiding in the kitchen away from the din I keep making. The guitar playing's not too bad, but the constant swearing when I get it wrong AGAIN is probably what's troubling her. On the bright side, when I stop trying to learn these patterns, playing 'normally' seems much easier. I may never be the guitar world's Keith Moon (unless I throw my guitar in a swimming pool) but by stretching myself I might just improve what I was doing already... or need wrist surgery. ;-)

    Hey Andrew, if you're walking around with an aching wrist and a sore thumb because of this lesson, then I'm very pleased. I too put off the percussive stuff for years, I was just never really all that excited by it. But I've found in recent years that a simple bass/snare can really do wonders to whatever you're playing. Thanks a lot for you comment.
