Hi Guys,
In my latest lesson Ben's Land Of Legato I mention the importance of warming up. It's important that we all do this to preserve the health of our muscles, tendons and ligaments in order to avoid injury, either a sudden injury - or injury from overuse. So my question is this : How do you guys warm up ? |

I normally go through this run https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Warming-up-with-Lian/
But now, as I see all your strecht and massage exercises I think I'll have to increase my warmup a bit |

Uh....I never warm up. I only stretch when I feel my body needs it. Or maybe I do and don't know it.
I just jam I guess. |

I always start playing pentatonic and minor scale up and down the neck over a backing, for 5-10 minutes. There are probably much better ways to do it but this serves two purposes: practice daily those scales, which I use in most songs I learn, and also warm up.

I don't really warm up. I do stretches sometimes. When I feel that it's too cold here and I can't play normally, I just put my hands into warm water, it really helps.
