It's a Stretch
During yesterday’s 90 Day Progress Party breakout session the topic of stretching for guitar came up and I think is worth repeating for those with older fingers like I have. When I completed Tony’s Daily Stretching for Guitar skill course last year, I developed the attached summary that helped stay on track as a warmup routine prior to picking up my guitar. Also, TAC member @davefive did an outstanding stretching pictorial as a quick guide through Tony’s recommended exercises. The link is

Amen. I’m a stretcher bearer too. Play in haste, regret in leisure. (Sorry Jane Austin fans).

Great tip, @Guitargeezer-Jack . I know Tony has given this to us, but many people will have skipped it, thinking they don’t need it.
However, by the time our old joints let us know we do need it, we are in pain and the stretches won’t work until we’ve healed some.
This is not a healing technique, this is a PREVENTIVE technique.
Again, thanks for posting this Jack.

Many thanks for this! Ever since doing the stretching course I’ve been meaning to create something similar, now I don’t need to! I’m finally starting to appreciate the need to make these preventative stretches a daily habit.

Thanks @Guitargeezer-Jack. I start every first session of the day with stretching, but this makes it easier to make sure you hit all the steps.
