Jus wanted some opinions on H and HH stingrays

Ivan, please try to find a good teacher! It seems that you have some talent and basic skills, but need someone with lots of experience to guide you around the intial obstacles. Someone who can observe you and hear you for real and not just make suggestions over the internet. If you have blisters on your fingertips, that hurts, but you can go on. If you have other pains in your hand, you can seriously hurt yourself by going on.

Still, if you're looking for good playing advice on the web, check out the videos be Dave Marks, who is a phenomenal player, a good teacher and a fellow UK knucklehead. Especially check out this video:

Cool Ivan.

Take Care bro....and don't take a break....it's the only way you'll get those calluses!

Good Video Oli....I still have a tendency to do this...only when I feel the stress in my wrist do I curl 'em up.
