Finger Press Guitar Player Hand Exercise

The Finger Press Guitar Player Hand Exercise is a great exercise to isolate, strengthen, and warm up the muscles in the fingers and thumb.  Perform this exercise before practice to help reduce injury to these muscles.  Be sure you are pressing gently.  Pressing your fingers too hard may strain your muscles and cause injury.  You can download a free, printable .pdf for this exercise here: Finger-Press-Guitar-Player-Hand-Exercise.pdf or right click and save the image below.
