Hand Fatigue
Stretching is VERY< VERY<VERY important............here's one I learned from one Dr Metro Kozak who used to be the strings prof at Cambrian College where I was for a while.
Put your hands on a chair (you'll be bent over) and turn your fingers toward your bent body keeping your palms flat on the chair. It helps if the chair is flat or use a stool of some sort. Now slowly (be careful) lean back again keeping your palms flat...........you should feel a stretch in your forearms. For your individual fingers turn your wrist on your fretting hand up and as far back it will go.........now stretch each digit gently encouraging them backwards with your other hand and hold for a few seconds and continue with the other fingers..........do the picking hand as well. Always stretch before and after you play
hope this helps
