Hi,
Am going on holiday for 3 weeks with out a guitar !
Is their any exercises I can do with my fingers to keep them in shape? Hate the feeling when I haven't played for a few days.
Thanks!

take your guitar i do if not got the child size one i take to keep up on at least the picking

Yes, if at all possible, take your guitar (it's always possible to take it).

If you absolutely can't take it, then do hand strength, stretching, and dexterity exercises with both hands.

I drive a 100-mile commute four days a week and the last week I have been doing exercises designed to isolate my third and fourth fingers on my fretting hand. In just a week I have more than doubled my ability to concentrate on pulling in my fingers when fretting, and the strength my hand has developed is incredible.

I'll be on an at-home vacation next week and I plan on making several videos of different aspects of my practice. Then you'll see what I mean.

The other thing you can do is either listen to one of Pebber's picking videos and set your hand up on your leg or something just as if you were picking a guitar. Work on scalpel and sarod timing. You could also just use a metronome and work on the different timing ratios.

Both those things will really move you forward in terms of control and concentration. And if either of them are problems (which they are for most of us), not having a guitar will be a benefit because it's too easy to get distracted and play something other than what we should be practicing.

Bring your guitar I talk from experience I travel all over the world for work and bring always a guitar. I bought a relative cheap Taylor which is my buddy on my trips. It is worth the afford!
If you fly the airliner should allow you to bring the guitar as hand luggage. Is the start to be nasty refer to FAA rule Section 403, there is stated that they should allow you to bring small size instruments (a guitar is considered as a small size instrument). And they are according the FAA not allowed to charge you for it.

If you go by car it will be even more easy. Plus Taylor (im sorry im a big Taylor fan) has also small size guitars like the: Baby Taylor or the GS mini. This will give you the possibility to do at least some exercises.

I think Farelli made a good point as well in doing some strength exercises.

I wish you a great holiday dude, Keep on playing 3 weeks without guitar sounds to me like a awefull way of spending my free time ;)

Thanks for all the tips guys!
Am going to the hard rock hotel for like 5 nights and you can rent a guitar for free! also I'll go to some music stores. thanks for the metronome tip Farelli also can't wait for them videos, also I got a 9 hour flight so I can catch up on some theory:)

Yup thats a good one as well Guitar137335! I have watched many videos on my tab in th eplane over and over again. I wrote the 5 pos system a couple of times in a plane too. You should see those people looking to you, WTF is he doing with writing over again numb ers from 1 to 7 and some black boles. hehehhe

LMAO. I was writing out 5, 7, 14, and Scaletone positions, as well as all the major scales for dozens of pages.

My wife's cousin looked at it one day and said, "WTF is that? Is that music?"

A couple of weeks and several dozens pages later, she added, "This reminds me of The Shining: 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy' written all over the walls."

I told her, "Yep, that's right. I'm crazy."

LOL
