“I like the simple instructions and clear drawings which rule out any potential misinterpretations. If you have been lazy about warming up for playing or practicing, trying a couple of exercises from this book will help you remember and experience how beneficial

"I think this is an excellent publication. I was actually using some of these exercises already e.g. Forearm Flexor 4.3 - 4.5 - 4.8 etc. However, I find the book very thorough yet concise. As a Classical guitarist I would have liked to see some mention of the use of a footstool. Other than that the book is excellent."

"Stretching Exercises for Guitarists is a great book to have around. Recently my hand and wrist had become numb and stiff from using a mouse. I found the 'Wrist Flexion Stretch' and it worked great. This little exercise released the tension from my wrist and the sensation of numbness soon faded. This is a book that every guitarist should have, a great tool that will help keep you playing."

“The book is well written with clear and concise diagrams and covers the key areas of the body that can benefit from stretches. The exercises are backed up by a medical professional too which is great to see.”
