The best way to build up finger strength and dexterity is to use simple warm ups and fingering exercise that you can perform on your guitar everyday. Make sure that you are in a comfortable position in holding the guitar so that you will not suffer from RSI (Repetitive strain injury)

In this video guitar lesson, Erik Mongrain will teach you a few exercises that you can practice to get your left hand and right hand warmed up before you start any daily practices.
 

I hoped you had enjoyed this video guitar lesson on learning how to warm up your fingers when playing the guitar. Learning to how to get your fingers ready to play the guitar at the start of the day bodes many benefits.

Apart from avoiding injuries, good warm up practices also encourages good muscle memory in your fingers as well as better performance in your playing. If you had tried picking up your guitar at the start of the day and tried to play Malmsteen licks on it, you would probably have difficulties in getting up to speed.

This is also the reason why many guitar stars are always seen practicing behind the stage prior to a concert performance. Musicians are alike atheletes. Without a good preparation, they will not hit their peak performance.

I hope that you had enjoyed this guitar lesson and that you will put what you had learnt into your daily practice routine. For more full HD guitar lessons to be streamed to your computer, you should check out Jamplay below.
