I'm not a geetar player, but this works for drums and I've seen it
work for guitar players I've shown it to as well. In your "pre-show"
warm up, find someplace to jump up and down, as if you're jumping
rope. It won't take long until you're huffing and puffing a little. Do
it on and off for at least 5 minutes. Combine this with arm and wrist
stretches and your beers, etc. Remember to keep breathing when you hit
the stage and start to play and you'll be amazed at the difference.
It's all in the oxygen intake. You're probably subconciously holding
your breath or not breathing normally. This causes your muscles and
joints to lock up and freeze. Good luck!
