My goodness, @jumpinjeff , I have been stretching for years and have learned the hard way how careful one must be and that slow and mild stretching is better than aggressive stretching. But you have covered this so clearly and precisely that it even helps me understand better how to recognize how to make sure I get the maximum benefit.
@MTJack I was going to add that you needed to be careful when stretching and that you could even stretch during your guitar playing, but then I read jumpinjeff’s comment. You have gotten wonderful advice. From my own experience with stretching, all I can say is you can stretch before you play, during your play, and after your play. As long as you are as careful as jumpinjeff spelled out, you can stretch several times a day as well. You may be surprised how much benefit you will get if you stretch repeatedly throughout the day as long, again, as long as you are not being too aggressive, which is easy to do when you stretching multiple times a day.
