Hi,

I'm a comeback player (away for 28 years, back for 1.5) who plays with one group or another six nights a week (Friday is date night con mi esposa

). I need more endurance for most of the gigs.

I never have discomfort that lasts more than 5 minutes, and I can always play the next morning. Am I babying my chops too much?

What are YOUR warning signs that you have pushed your chops beyond the point of building strength into destruction? How much do you persevere into fatigue/stress?

Thanks,

Greg
