Prepare to play
Guitar warmups for relaxed, accurate playing
Choose an individual technique exercise or follow a curated 5-, 10- or 15-minute routine. Use the built-in metronome when a steady pulse helps, but keep relaxation and clean movement ahead of speed.
Choose a warmup routine
Each routine divides the selected time into suggested exercise blocks. You decide when to move on; there is no countdown or automatic transition.
