After years of teaching and speaking with other guitar players it still amazes me how many players fail to warm up properly. I understand the desire to pick up the guitar and start playing but a few simple warm up steps will improve your playing and practice and help reduce injury. That's right, you can get injured by playing guitar, especially if your hands and fingers are not warmed up.
Here are a couple of simple stretching exercises you can do anywhere and no guitar is needed. Do this before a gig or practice. You will feel better and play better. Be sure to check http://www.guitardomain.com for more guitar tips and info.
Hold your hand out as if you are directing traffic and telling someone to stop. Now with your other hand gently grab your "stop" hand's fingers and gently pull back towards your body. You will feel it in the lower wrist and forearm. Do this for about 10 seconds and then switch hands.
Next do the same thing but have your hand pointing downward or opposite the technique above. This you will feel in your upper wrist and forearm.
Next do some simple massages. With your Thumb simply apply a decent amount of pressure and rub the inner part of the opposite hand. Now do so for each finger. Really give them a good rubbing and switch hands. This will improve circulation and loosen up the muscles.
Again do these every day if you can or at the very least before you pick up your guitar and you should notice and feel the difference!
