Anyway, thanks to both of you. I have a new direction to look in now. | It may be a good idea for you to record few practice sessions on video. Manny made a very good point concerning the tension. The video will help you check if you are moving shoulders or doing something else nuisable to your playing. Playing in front of a mirror can be another solution, but probably you will see more clearly the problems if you are not involved in playing while observing yourself.
