Mastering the art of moving fingers within chord shapes can be quite challenging, especially when dealing with large fretting hand stretches. That’s why finding warm-ups to practice these moves while creating beautiful sounds is essential for improving accuracy and finger flexibility.
Watch the amazing Scott Goldbaum in this short video lesson as he demonstrates how to turn a simple E Add9 chord into a finger-stretching exercise that acts as a great warm-up for both hands. Not only is it a fantastic exercise, but it also serves as a musical inspiration for other similar workout ideas!
