I'm actually suffering physical pain playing disco stuff .
Last week we introduced Donna Summer's Hot Stuff in to our set. This is the first tune in years that has caused me any grief. It must be the galloping along pace, coupled with all the octaving. My hand feels like it's contracting in to a claw and the cramp starts in my forearm.
I'm really not sure whether to persevere with it or come up with an alternative bass line.
Additionally, I mostly play with a pick but this is one of the few tunes that I can't play efficiently with my trusty plectrum. I'm finding it works better with thumb and third finger, although I do lose a little volume.
