Looking for suggestions to exercise and stretch my fret hand, I'm having trouble getting it to go where I want it to without pain.  Nothing wrong with my hand its just muscles and tendons too tight not stretched out I can see and feel the tightness. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Welcome.


I found this on the site, it may be a part of the New Fundamentals course.

I think starting out with Fundamentals would be a very good place to start.


Your hand will gain both strength and dexterity with regular practice.


Good luck.


This year the diet is definitely gonna stick!
