Great Technique equals great playing skills?
Tendonitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Repetitive Stress Injury are specters haunting the life of every musician; they are career stoppers. It is unfortunate that the teaching of contemporary guitar rarely includes the basics of proper stance, posture or positioning of the arms, wrists and hands, even though this is the most basic foundation of technique!
Most students tend to fixate on the left hand, due to the complex nature of its task, but the right hand has an equally important, if seemingly simple function. Incorrect technique in this area and its painful consequences can be avoided by applying the information found in this book.
The exercises and positions described have been developed by the author in conjunction with physiotherapists and major players in both the classical and jazz world.
This book is invaluable for the beginning student who wishes to get on the right path immediately, the musician who is experiencing fatigue or pain in playing, and the musician who may already have some damage.
The exercises are geared to help the muscles respond smoothly to the demands placed upon them, and develop fast, precise playing. 24 etudes are included with midi files that can be downloaded from the internet to facilitate correct practice and aid internalization.
Have a repetitive stress injury?
Pills and physical therapy can only go so far. If you don’t change the underlying problem you will be plagued with pain and an ongoing problem.

- I’m in my 50’s and have spent 30 years trying to play the guitar. Every time I’ve tried to improve my right hand speed I ended up injuring my wrist. I ended up resigned to playing slow and sloppy. Then I ran into Right Hand Technique for Guitar Volume One and thought what the heck I’ll give it a try. Seemed like a well laid out book but honestly I just wasn’t sure if I was doing the exercises correctly. I contacted Mr. Arnold via email and to my surprise he asked me to send him a video of me playing the guitar. This kind of blew me away that he would take the time to help me out. So I uploaded a video to youtube.com and within a hour I had an email telling me he saw what my problem was. This was amazing. After 3 videos back and forth Bruce got me on the right track to playing correctly. All this for the price of one book. Man you’re crazy if you don’t take advantage of this guy’s willingness to help. A. Quinn
- Simply put this book changed my life! I had given up playing the guitar because of pain. I went through 3 doctors and 4 therapists that did zip for me. If you don’t go to the source of your problem you are kidding yourself that anything good will come from it. Buy this book, contact Bruce and start playing without pain! B. Tuttle

- I can’t express the profound gratitude I have for the help I’ve received from Bruce. Playing the guitar means everything to me. My wife died a few months back and I just wanted to get something in my life that could give me some happiness. Playing music has always done that for me but stress and playing the wrong way soon had me running for the Aleve bottle. Bruce was a real sport to take me under his wing and allow me to take a skype lesson with him and within 15 minutes had me playing without pain. This is why the internet is so important. I never would have had this opportunity 20 years ago. If you are having problems don’t wait for it to completely close you down. Get some professional help it’s really made all the difference for me! G. Horowitz.
- I was very sceptical about this idea of playing from my forearm rather than my wrist. After Bruce pointed out some guitarist using the technique and of course Bruce isn’t exactly a slouch on the instrument himself I gave it a try. No more wrist pain. No more opening doors with my other hand because it hurts my wrist too much. I’m a new man and can play the guitar all day long without pain. J. Johnston.
