ose if I sang it would keep my jaw loose but the only thing worse than my playing is my singing so that's not a good option.A little research shows excessive jaw-clenching is fairly common among guitar players. The consensus advice is to relax, which seems a bit obvious to me. Maybe I should get a mouthpiece. Someone suggested putting a cookie between your teeth with just enough pressure to hold it in place. I'd eat the cookie, though.
I wonder what all that jaw-clenching does to my face while I'm trying to play. I hope I'm not making some grotesque guitar face.

perhaps if you played with your teeth this condition would go away ...
My wife tells me I suck my lips in making it look as if I have no teeth when I really get into my playing. Still, it beats sticking my tongue. out like my brother does when he uses the scissors (he's 38)
