@briplaysjovie I’ve heard of hyper mobility before, but you’re the first to ask a question about it, that I’m aware of, in the forums, and that’s great. There are probably others out there too afraid to ask the question or simply give up. My understanding of the syndrome is that it actually has to do with surrounding muscles not being strong enough to keep the joints from collapsing or turning.
Focus on finger strengthening. Many of Tony’s lessons focus on finger strengthening, but there are many YouTube videos that cover exercises. I would incorporate these along with your daily stretches. Try not to hyperextend when stretching to avoid the dreaded tendonitis that can out your playing on hold for extended periods.
You might consider going to physical therapy too. They could show the safest and most effective ways to build the muscles and strength up.
There isn’t going to really be a quick fix to the hyper mobility. I’m not sure how taping your joints would help with the matter. Also how would you get the arch needed in your fingers and hands to play?
Here’s a YouTube video on hyper mobility and guitar. I can’t comment on her suggestions, but I think she’s a physical therapist.
