Stretching off, how does that work? I'm trying to stay relaxed, but pushing tempo on some riffs, inevitably there's a build up of lactic acid and whatnot in the muscles that don't understand what's needed of them yet, how does one warm up and down as a noob so one doesn't turn into a total mess?
I seem to remember this being dealt with a couple of years back. Perhaps someone remembers it better than me. I think there was a set of exercises to limber up the body before strapping on the bass.
That's cool, thanks... amusingly of course that's the kind of warm up i might want to warm up for Looks like some good stretches in there and practise at reaching as well.
I avoid stretching my fingers and move my whole hand instead. This means my arm is doing more work and my fingers less, but I have stronger muscles in my arm than in my fingers so it's not a problem.
