In general I do not agree with stretching exercises which do not involve playing on the guitar..

So anything such as:

Placing marbles between fingers
Pulling fingers
Gym like exercises for fingers
Anything in between

Will never enter my practice schedule. That being said there are some effective ways to build a good stretch and they are very simple.

What I have done and this really helped me was to always practice my techniques all over the neck each time I practiced. I would start off on the high frets first and build my way to the lower frets which require more stretching.

This way I had a good warm up before going to the wide stretches and got a varied workout on the neck.

It worked very well and I am pretty proud of my stretch these days :)
