Like any physical activity, warming up when playing guitar is important. A common mistake I see among students is putting favorite songs first in their practicing as a warm-ups. It is better to warm-up on a simple drill, such as ‘the spider’, so mistakes that inevitably happen when warming up don’t creep their way into the rehearsed performance of those songs.
Aim to keep an even time between all notes for this exercise, particularly when changing strings.
