Guitar Warm-Up and Stretching - Episode 5 - Mr V's Guitar Journ(ey)

Come with me on this Journ(ey)!

This week's lesson/journal entry has us taking a bit of a break from adding on material to practice. Instead we will continue practicing what we've previously worked on and also discuss a daily warm-up and/or cool-down. Please see my disclaimer below... Here's a list of the daily warm-up routine I do:

1. Three minutes of down picking 8th (or 16th) notes with metronome;
2. Three minutes of alternate picking 8th (or 16th) notes with metronome;
3. Legato (hammer-on and pull-off trills) 20 seconds per finger combination: 3-4, 2-4, 2-3, 1-4, 1-3, 1-2;
4. Two minutes of bends and slides;
5. Five minutes of the chromatic scale;
6. Five minutes of alternating between two chords;
7. Extension strengthening (with rubber band or fingers);
8. 22 second Stretch (prayer, invert, pinch finger tips, and spread fingers).

In addition, working out requires patience, diligence, and above all else, using good form. Never bounce or over strain! Most important: listen to your body...
