Question for Emil about Stretching

[dpmcleod]

Hey Emil,

Given how much you play, have you ever found the need to stretch or exercise your hands outside of playing the guitar in order to meet the demands of your playing? I'm also curious to know how often you take a day off to let your hands recover.

Thanks!

@dpmcleod Hi there Dan!
Thanks for asking! I don't actually stretch my hands at all, but I do sometimes warm up playing a few exercises, or songs. Nowadays, having a family, two small kids, I sometimes don't find the time to pick up the guitar, so I take a day off from the guitar sometimes because of that. But I used to play at least 6 hours/day every day of the year :) Hope you have a great day Dan! Kind regards/E
