		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been playing guitar for over 25 years.  Last year, I found out that I have osteoarthritis in the finger joints of my left (fretting) hand.  I&#8217;m writing about it to help other guitarists out there who are struggling with the same problem and are having trouble figuring out what&#8217;s wrong (as I was)  &#38; [...]]]></description>
