elbow shoulder pain

[Michelle Smith]

Dave,

This is coming from an extreme newbie so watch out!  I took a gander  
at your website and saw a picture of you tuning a tall upright from a  
sitting position.  Is this how you usually tune or was that just for  
the purposes of the photograph?  Just wondering if getting your arm  
in a more horizontal position would allow your back muscles to do  
some of the work.

Have a good one!
