I played tunes continuously yesterday for three hours, playing through 180 hymns and some other tunes. After I was finished my lip felt no discomfort at all and today it feels like I hadn’t practiced at all. I wish I had acquired this lip-guard years ago then I could have spent much longer practicing.
Now does anyone know of anything which can improve ones focus and concentration?
it’s natural to get sores on the bottom lip after long playing sessions but these will disappear after a while.
it’s the equivalent of a guitarist getting calusses on the fingers.
the lip will slowly toughen up and they will disappear…I guess the lip guard will allow you to avoid this initial pain so
very useful….as long as the guard doesn’t feel weird as I would assume it would for me, but don’t know cause never tried one.
Thanks Johnny. My lip has definitely become tougher, but after three years of playing it was still taking major strain.
My wife told me that my tone sounds less muffled, so I’m really happy with the improved tone and level of comfort.
Now I can play everyday, instead of skipping days after a long practice. 🙂
