Yea it's a good feeling once you've conquered the stone. I played it for like a week straight after that. My wrist was like rubber, it wasn't pretty.

Crash and Satellite are what make my hand hurt the most.

Warehouse doesn't bug me that much, satellite and crash kill me, and i don't know why but after 2 or 3 times through, the stone really hurts. I dunno, i must just be awkward. Eh, it's fun though.

It's the songs that don't change position that hurt the most... Crash for instance. In Stone I can push through the pain knowing that relaxing chorus is coming... I can rest as long as I want doing the Wise Men Outro and all the trilling there in. Same thing with Satellite (which I play in one position... I CAN do it Dave's way, it's just much easier to play the 3rd note in the triad on the 3rd string--not the fourth--and stay in 4th position, plus it sounds identical anyway and it's easier to hit the note on an upstoke the closer the string is to the bottom of the neck... consequently I can play the song 4-5 times faster than Dave normally does if I'm feeling spunky) knowing that the chorus is coming. Crash doesn't help because the only rest you get is the quick slide up and back to E. Not much time for those muscles to pump out the lactic acid...

Some of the easiest songs on the hands--Raven (lots of movement, not particularly difficult chords), 2much (easy riff), WAYG (plenty of movement for the fingers), and any of the TB-like chord songs except for TB =)... It's something to think about if playing a long set... gotta intersperse some of the easier ones on the hands (not necessarily easier to play, but less stressful on the muscles)...
