Do you warm-up your fingers? It is normal that fingers are stiffer when cold, but with proper warmup you can overcome that
So far there are two lessons at GMC on this topic This is mine https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/3-minutes-warmup-lesson/ and on done by Murcus Siepen https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...-marcus-siepen/ -------------------- |

You're not crazy mate, just don't practice the guitar outside the house
Just kiddin a bit. As Dejan said it is best to warm up nicely before starting to play. You can't play fast with cold hands. Soak them in hot water for 2-3 minutes this should help them get warm fast, and then warm up about 5-10 minutes with some easy exercises to get them moving. After you feel they are not cold anymore, you should be able to play fast no problem. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Drink something hot before you start playing, that'll help.

This happens to me many times, specially on stage, for some reason it is colder, haven't found a solution but simply play and play until it feels comfortable.

Its perfectly normal to be slower (and stiffer) if your hands are cold..Just warm up as everyone mentioned and you should be ok...I also find that my hands sometimes get cold if I'm nervous or something (in my mind) so I managed to warm them up by concentrating in my head A little hard to do at first but it can be done But regular warmup + hot water routine should do the trick!

do some star jumps or touch ur toes etc.. anything to get the blood flowing. Then massage ur hands and fingers, because it will increase blood flow which means warmer hands!
