Before practice or before a gig, should it need the hand muscle stretching and massage sessions, why?, try once and feel the benefits

[@youronlyrealfriend]

Why is a ghost doing this video?

[@danielalfredo9061]

You made me laugh my ass off

[@gringostrongarm6774]

He’s a Jedi foo

[@uommopipistrello1986]

He's elbow cracked, your argument is not accurate.... 😂

[@zackperkins6107]

This is the ghost of John before the Beard took over his body

[@TheGuitarVirt]

yes

[@MrClod-we7mr]

no

[@phayes1007]

based on the way he looks today, he's probably just as qualified to do a "Weight-Training Body Builders" tutorial video. I don't even work out or plan to start doing, but I'd probably still buy it haha

[@5tartawar]

before he turned into a tank

[@fredrikbanke192]

Shouldn't I hold the positions for longer than 10 seconds?

[@palesiak23]

i guess, that shouldn't matter- bass and guitar uses same groups of muscles.

[@ThrawnTheater]

So, do you guys think I could use these same exact stretches and massages for the bass?

[@michaelcampbell3437]

ThrawnTheater, yes, these exercises would be great as applied to the bass. By the way, great screen name!

[@stuffwithjon]

should you do the stretches before or after playing the instrument? or both?

[@JayV426]

+stuffwithjon Before mainly but doesn't hurt to do so after, good to keep supple! :)

[@drmoshie]

+stuffwithjon both is good. few players warm down, but it's myung does for example. But before is a must really

[@TheShyArmyTV]

Before!

[@stuffwithjon]

I can't feel the stretch on the 1:24-1:47 stretches, why??? I only feel stretch in my fingers, doesn't matter how much I try

[@fsdssfsfsdsds]

0:44 "my arm just cracked"
You lied to us john. I know that's a sound effect..

[@GuidoCampiglio]

dave mustaine rules

[@hopo2hopo]

on the thumbnail he looks like stallone..

[@TedBoyRomarino]

Guys like Petrucci play a lot of hours per day. They just need to strengthen their hands and prevent injuries

[@sevendays7685]

why does he look like a long-haired arin hanson

[@donjoseph73]

All you have to do it rub and tug one out and you’ll be good to go!

[@SWiiTCHii3]

haha He looks so.... bored lol

[@RocknJazzer]

by the title I thought this was gonna be some gay thing

[@brando18guitarplyr]

@AgentA2628 You tell your boyfriend he should stop squeezing it.
