    thanks man, I’ve been playing bass for a few years now but haven’t really gotten into any excercises until my friend got carpel tunnel. Now that I know these, I’m gonna ut them in my everyday habits now.

  11. 2008stargate says:

    its the opposite instead of streching you will slowly break donw the tendons making them weaker

  12. TheInfinityEffect says:

    Very important stuff!!

  13. fatredbird says:

    I’m guessing that this will severely weaken your hand. Not a good thing.

    I made a comment to this, but it didn’t appear. I basically said, DO NOT do this! Seriously, you could cause yourself all sorts of problems, not only in the bass playing world…:)

  16. KreatorOfDeath1985 says:

    dude i hope you are just fooling around that is just sick

  20. zZFingerZz says:

    I dont really think they will get longer actually.
    I think it will just hurt like hell.
    Because those flaps arent responsible for finger independacy or length, So PLEASE dont cut them it wont do any good

  21. KreatorOfDeath1985 says:

    lol ok ill just pull on them till they get real loose and stretchy sound better?

    i wasnt gonna cut em but i always wondered cause i had a friend who couldnt palm a basket ball so he cut the flaps and now he can

    i would do it too if it was a proven atvantage =] but apperently not

    i still might try it if i get drunk enough not to think about it

  22. KreatorOfDeath1985 says:

    alright
    but
    those stretches make me move soo much slower and my hand cramps up

    if i DONT do he stretches i can go for 3-4 hours straight with no cramping

    how come??

  23. masterpockets211 says:

    im scared my finger might come of my hang doing this…. just kidding, dude! your a great teacher and stuff, i like your videos, they are so informative

  24. Glycerin50 says:

    i stretch my hands often, so that comes in handy. i just crack my bones :P anyway, thanks for the turorials! New bass player right here :)

    right on dude, this is something people seriously need to know. the damage playing instruments can do to you seems to be largely overlooked by the masses.
