I'm still in a long recovery process from shoulder surgery and I find that after 2 or 3 songs my shoulder hurts due to the pressure of the shoulder strap across the top of my shoulder ( I've had clavicle bone excision and bursar repair )....this discomfort is applicable to my accordion and guitar playing. I have to stand at gigs and it's also my preference.
I know Geno uses a padded strap and I wondered if these were generically available from the makers or alternatively, does anyone have thoughts on what may be an option. I saw Geno at Cowboys and it looked like he had half a sheep's fleece wrapped around the strap....he's either carrying a sore shoulder or he doesn't want his trade-mark starched shirts creased or marked !
