From a musician's forum I frequent: "Sounds like you're holding your pick too tight. Tension leads to pain, and eventually, permanent injury. Learn to relax and not only will your pain go away, your technique will improve."

I think there may be something to what this guy said. It was our first official show and maybe I was clamping on the pick pretty hard due to nerves/adrenaline. I hadn't noticed too much cramping when we'd go through the whole set list in practice.

I'll try to drink more and relax...oh and stretch. Yes, stretch.
