To thank you I found this exercices right from ChatGPT :


Starfish Exercise (Off-Guitar Finger Stretch)


Goal: Improve finger flexibility, independence, and strength without a guitar.


Steps:




  1. Open your left hand wide — spread your fingers as far apart as possible, like a starfish 🖐.




  2. Thumb to Pinky:




    • Pinch your pinky with your thumb, applying gentle pressure.




    • Hold for 2–3 seconds.






  3. Thumb to Ring Finger:




    • Pinch and hold for 2–3 seconds.






  4. Thumb to Middle Finger:




    • Same, 2–3 seconds.






  5. Thumb to Index Finger:




    • Same, 2–3 seconds.






  6. Return to full starfish stretch and repeat the cycle 5–10 times.




Tips:




  • Keep movements slow and controlled — no snapping fingers together.




  • You should feel a mild stretch, not pain.




  • Do this a few times a day (you can do it while watching TV or waiting in line).




Benefits:




  • Warms up the hand before playing.




  • Increases reach for wide chords and scales.




  • Reduces stiffness if you’ve been playing a lot.




Hopefuly, you'll enjoy it !


Best,


Steve
