He is a famous classical guitar player and teacher in Turkey.
I went to a few kung-fu courses with him while in college. He finds martial arts helpful for guitar playing and shared this video, it not a warmup for guitar but good for specially shoulder health. Advised to do it once daily for musicians.
Its Turkish but I guess the video is explaining well enough, let me know if anything needs translating.

I only took a few lessons, on lesson 2 the teacher was standing on my stomach while I was lying down lifting my legs I actually liked it but my partner was a girl friend and she couldn't take it much long
I totally agree on this
I have been practicing Kenjutsu - or classical Japanese swordsmanship since 2012 and it helped a lot on a few very important aspects:
- attention to detail
- patience
- discipline
- self control
- knowing and listening to your body
I think that pretty much any martial arts style can teach you these, but it takes a bit of exploring to see how you can adapt these teachings to your playing - it's VERY doable and with great results nevertheless!
How many of you guys here are martial arts practitioners?
