Quick Tip for Playing Guitar Better
You might look at the following picture and ask “How does a bathroom sink help me Play Guitar Better?”
As my last post was on good ‘warm-ups’ before playing here is another really simple one, pun notwithstanding. Fill a sink with warm to hot (not scalding) water and then place your hands under the water for 60 to 90 seconds. For flexability and circulation in your hands, it will feel like you have been playing guitar for about a half-hour after doing this. Try it and see!
I have heard of using a hairdryer for the same purpose but I find this much more effective. A side benefit is that you will extend the life of your guitar strings by having clean hands before you play.
I was reminded of this tip after soaking in my in-room hot tub inside the Presidential Suite at the Forest Suites Resort in South Lake Tahoe where I stayed this weekend (thanks Warren!). That would be acceptable warm-up, as well.
