what do you usually do when you play guitar? do you shred up instantly or warm up first? well common sense would say the try to run few times on scales first before engaging to much more rigorous ones. this way you will minimize the risk of finger sore. and some injuries..
Yes waming up is important. I must admit I do not tend to do this and it has resulted in some hand injuries before that meant I could not play guitar for a few weeks.
I did experience the same think admin.. that is why i always tell most of the new guys to warm up. sound boring but it is a basic thing to do. Stretch and get ready..
warming up is a must and must be atleast 20 mins--tht to non stop,,thts how i proceed, i might also give up at times after warming up if i get bored, but i almost never skip those first 20 mins
again i follow a lot of patters and keep playin at a constant speed, not too fast not too slow
luckily, i havent experienced an injuries because of not warming up.
but when i don't, especially when not playing for a long time, i can't scretch my finger as far as i used to and the sound is not clean.
So, i did warmed up before playing at least for 15 minutes.
and good song for after warm-up?
try Romanza. if you can play this damn clean after warm up then go ahead, you're ready!
individuals have a varying tolerance some will have a tougher finger than the others. but as of now i think it is good to just warm up first. Yeah i do agree with that first 20 it is important.
well thanks for the tip. i think that it the problem i had before. the sore fingers that is why i stopped playing with the guitar. well i may get back to guitar again after gained some new knowldge on some good techniques to avoid those sore fingers.
