I mean where else would they go to be fair

When they return it, it will be in the exact same spot you last saw it.

ify i placed my pick on one spot then after some time pass it's like it disappeared into thin air

I lost my pick a couple of days ago and I found it in the same spot I put it in

I can relate

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS THANK YOU ❤️

thats why focusing on trends rather than ideas doesnt work long term..

I didn't even realize this video was that old until I read this comment, truly quality content.

@@sirspongadoodle Eh, videos focusing on trends is less helpful and more like, "this is trendy and funny or relatable (depending on what trend)" and the more people relate to it in different ways, the more likes and views the video gets most of the time. So following trends aren't even supposed to work out in the long run. It's more like a bunch of people trying to get more views, likes and money.

Wow, these exercises turned you into a jazz guitarist?

@Diomedes D yk it was 10 years ago

@Diomedes D I agree but the stretches are still useful

dude....ouch

hahaha _s m o l_

LoL

I will chime in as additional support for this suggestion. Your entire body requires moisture, much more than I think most of us realize. Moisturize daily, dudes. At night, right after a nice shower? Perfect time to apply losh and let your skin slurp it up overnight. Makes a crazy difference over the long term.

@@ZeroMilk :) have a nice day, SamueL!

Interesting comment! I'm a strong believer also in lotion for guitar hands - especially a good natural ingredient lotion that dissapears into your skin and isn't greasy. Found one I liked almost 50 years ago, and stuck with it: Mill Creek Aloe Vera and PABA Moisturizing Lotion.

Any kind of particular lotion you would recommend

I thought that you should wash your hands before playing to prevent the strings from getting dirty?

how are you now

Thank you farmer Kim

ba-dum dish!

Ha, I got it!

Punny 😂😂

I didn't get the joke until like an hour later

Bill, have you noticed a significant difference after doing the exercises? I am struggling to do some chords because it feels like my hands/wrists/arms are too "stiff"

Kevin I did the streches only for my left hand and I see a huge difference between my hands after two weeks! Now I regrett not starting with both hands..

Do you do these exercises once a day?

Agreed. I when I started get into using four fingers over four frets I was losing hope cause my pinky finger couldn’t reach as far until I started these stretches

Not just in guitar, this should be a mandatory first lesson for every musical instrument

hows ur guitar progression??

@@johnnyparsnips7641 How will my fingers grow once I have stopped growing :(

@@AyushRaj maybe you need a smaller guitar for your hands? That‘s also a possibility

holy shit me too bro

Same this video was really helpful

Damn babe I hope you got a guitar

Did your size of fingers grow

@@raghavbhutani5153 no my hand stopped growing since i became an adult lmao but they are more flexible and dont get stiff as much as they used to (+ i found that using some kind of hand cream makes these easier to do if you have really dry/sweaty hands)

I hope you heal quick and well, I hope everything clicks into place for you.

I am just 4'11" and my fingers are like a baby's and it's so difficult for me too learn to play guitar😔

@@khushinegi2066 that's ok don't give up nothing is impossible..

My ring finger's dislocated too in a bike accident and I couldn't play what I cud play anymore.. But I still play sometimes.

@@neriomao4314 ohh I am so sorry...but I know you are still much better than many

+SuperSlartibartfast Exactly. When I started, with lots of excitement I learnt a few chords, humming some songs, but then I found I was walking my fingers instead of moving them together while changing chords. Then looked up videos about how to do that, which eventually led me to this exercise!

r we just saying random words? if so-fajod;bn wjfpvnok

I had two guitar teachers and neither spent time on this which surprises me as both have been teaching for a long time.

Renaissance Man pretty much what happened to me too

I'm 65 and just gonna keep doing these exercises. Age is cruel but we can fight it with some exercises!

does this video help you get longer finger?

@@nemesisy late reply: not longer fingers but can help your finger stretch further

Wow.That comment made my year.

i don't think that's over the top, i feel like that's an appropriate response to feeling like you just unlocked the door to a great musical future.

You sound like a guy from a simply piano commercial lol

@@HansLandaOfficial wkakak

turnleftaticeland can you give us a update in how you’re doing

Lol I read this in those infomercial voices.

Soar Trinsic I make power chords with my index and pinky finger, but if it's at the 15th fret or higher I would use my ring finger

Soar Trinsic the way i learned to stretch was playing over and over on frets 1 3 5 of strings one and two. If you cant reach that far i first started on 5 7 and 9. Not i could play... uhh idk what the chord is called... if you want to know, 7 on first string and 11 on strings 1 2 3 and 4.

*now i could play

I just did it on my left hand and compared both hands, how far i could spread my fingers. Insane results instantly, i am amazed!

Instructions unclear foot stuck in door frame

It would take an immense force to break a finger. A pinkie, maybe, but otherwise you'll be fine.

You're not supposed to stretch to the point of possible injury. Just enough tension but not real pain.

I am scared too

You're not alone!! Lol

Ask a physiotherapy man to do not have problems

How are you now?

Wow amazing dude

i never thought that this could improve wpm. that’s pretty clever

I just reached 102wpm today! have been struggling alot with getting there. Might wanna try doing this for some time and see if i'll get even faster

@@andreashenriksen1485 don't you ever give up, don't you ever give in.

@@fribiesdi Thanks man! I will not give up

@Diomedes D shut up?

im trying to work on my fingers mobility i cant even give people the middle finger it literally just stays like not even half way thats how immobile my fingers are 💀💀💀 its annoying especially for power chords

@@kenzosuzsame i do boxing so their even worse now

was this video helpful for you?

try using a hair-tie, I use a small rubber band, behind the knuckels of yr three fingers while practicing.

mrbsred1 Same here bud. Even gave up after a while since I wasnt progressing anywhere because I couldn't stretch for shit. It's been 10 years for me too. Going to pick the guitar back up now and do these stretches every day.

mrbsred1 I was struck with Psoriatic Arthritis at 30 years old...right at my peak. It was devastating. It causes incredible pain, cartilage destruction, and your joints to swell up, as well as tendons and other auxiliaries. In the hands it causes "sausage fingers" were they get fat and cumbersome. Other parts of your body like ankles, spine and feet, can leave you completely disabled. There is no cure. It hit my entire body hard, and I ended up in a wheel chair. Now five years later, I've gotten out of that F'ing thing, and have begun to built strength stamina and speed again; though I'll never play anywhere near as fast as before. I focus on tone now, and play more gilmoresque solos. Alex Lifeson, the guitarist for RUSH, has had it for ten years now. It's one of the reason after 40+ years, they aren't doing major tours any longer. It's serious shit, but I am fighting it with all I've got. I hope you are able to find that strength as well, and can regain some of your former self. Best of luck!

+mrbsred1 Ironically the same situation here. My hands are very small, and some chords seem almost impossible to reach, yet I see girls/women playing perfectly with the same hand size. I'd already started the last of the stretches on this video, but will work on the others too now. Thanks for the video!

I got an idea before I read your comment. It's like a recipe for warming the hands up especially in winter; I eat an orange then wipe my hands with the juice spilled from it then put my hands near fire just to let the skin absorb the natural oil.

doesnt using lotion take away the point of building up calluses? and arent calluses good?

***** I've never had problems building up calluses and using lotion. I have psoriatic arthritis and lotion is a must for my hands. I have yet to have a problem.

I mean...ADHD got a point..

ADHD?

Honestly, these exercises could even help with some styles of dance.

That is true and really helpful. Thank you. :)

Thank you. Not sure what a fascia is but I felt a difference

Fascia is a thin, tough, elastic type of connective tissue that wraps most structures within the human body, including muscle. Fascia supports and protects these structures. Osteopathic theory proposes that this soft tissue can become restricted due to psychogenic disease, overuse, trauma, infectious agents, or inactivity, often resulting in pain, muscle tension, and corresponding diminished blood flow

Thanks for pitching in, Sam. Twenty seconds is amazing!

It's not just fascia but the muscle spindle fibers that control muscle tone that release muscle tone that allow progressive stretching.

Jeez that must've been handy

do you mean this stretches help to cure tendinitis?

+Thomas Kelly just started playing but suffer very bad tennis elbow from years of plastering sooo painful

brainpilot How do you treat it?

Hello Brian, im a guitar player. For over 3 weeks im getting inboluntary movements on my infex finger right hand, it comes and go everyday, is not painful at all. Although i do have pains that resemble tendinitis somehow i guess. Any ideas?

How do you treat it?

define "too much time" because now im paranoid

That does feels good.
