Playing a guitar may not seems as hard as playing more physically straining sports, but it is. Do you think you could run a mile without stretching your legs first? Then you’d see that playing your guitar continuously well without stretching just can’t be done. You likely don’t assume this, but playing a guitar can mean some serious hand and arm muscle damage. And everyone knows that straining the most important parts of the body is definitely something to avoid. Which is why you should remember to do a few warm ups before any gig or guitar session. Have you ever experienced that painful sensation in your hands while playing your favorite song? You could seriously injure yourself if you go on like that. If that discomfort escalates, you need to stop. Just try to think things through next time and learn to warm up. One of the often used methods of warming up is by doing a few scales that you run up and down a number of times. Try to loosen your muscles by doing scales and increasing your speed gradually.Do chord transitions after that. Do a few minimal chord transitions and then work it out from there. Start simple and increase your speed just like when you were doing scales. When you think you’re ready, keep a comfortable playing position. Keep your hands where they can play efficiently without giving you pain and give them enough space for playing. If you find yourself experiencing discomfort with any other parts, no matter how slight, change positions.You?ll be able to avoid straining yourself while playing at your best. Remind yourself to warm-up everytime you pick up your guitar. Doing this will make playing guitar an easier and safer experience.
