Left Hand Wrist Technique and


I have been playing quite comfortabley for years with my current technique, but after hooking up with a new teacher he informed me that I play with far too much stress in my arm and that my wrist bends at a right angle almost when im playing(usually on the lower strings). He reckons I have to correct this or else I cud seriously damage myself.
You wud think this problem wud only occur with the guitar slung low, but mines at a very respectable height and my hands are pretty big!!
Ive tried and tried to fix this but I just cant play with my wrist straight and I just give up and no longer feel like playing!!!!

My teacher reckons I shud get a classical guitar and learn classical 4 a while as this shud sort out my whole posture and technique.

Have n e of u guys had to correct the same sort of thing??
How can I destress my arm and wrist?
