Stretching Exercises for Guitar

If you're planning to play guitar, you'll need to do some yoga for your fingers, I'll start with 3 basic excercises that will help you to stretch your fingers of your left hand.  You need to start working with a metronome in a moderate speed, 80 or 90 bpm would be ok and then start to increment the velocity. If you don't have any metronome, you can use http://metronomeonline.com/

C, E-flat and G go into a bar

C, E-flat and G go into a bar. The bartender says, "sorry,but we don't serve minors." So E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and G is out flat. F comes in and triesto augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.

D comes in and heads for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me. I'll just be a second." Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and says, "Get out! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight."

E-Flat comes back the next night in a three-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says, "you're looking sharp tonight. Come on in, this could be a major development." Sure enough, E-flat soon takes off his suit and everything else, and is au natural.

Eventually C sobers up and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. C is brought to trial, found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of D.S. without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.
