Description

This week’s episode is all about warm-ups. Today, we are looking at tips that will help you warm up your hands before you play.
 
There’s nothing worse than trying to play with cold hands. This can be frustrating, painful, and can even lead to injuries. It’s especially challenging in wintertime when it’s freezing cold outside. It’s important to get your hands and fingers warmed up to a decent temperature. To help you do this, I give you some useful warm-up tips to get the blood flowing in your fingers.
 
In addition to preventing injury, warm-ups also help you to get the most out of your guitar practice. In today’s episode, I talk about the different issues that might come up when you dive straight into your practice without a warm-up. I talk about ways to avoid the “Death Grip”, strumming mistakes, and other bad habits taught by the “Gatekeeper” of the Acoustic Asylum.
 
This episode will help you start every practice session with a warm-up so that you can get the most out of your guitar playing and avoid injury and pain.
