For some time now I have had issues with my left shoulder (I am right handed).
I had two issues - the one has now cleared - but I am left with the other.
When I lift the kettle my shoulder burns - I think the muscle is called the upper trapezius. Seems to occur first thing in the morning after playing the evening before. I use Fender Straps.
I am thinking of a Strap shoulder pads - has anyone had this situation?
