How to warm up like a pro with PERIPHERY guitarist Mark Holcomb

In this video, presented by PRS Guitars, Mark Holcomb from the metal band Periphery shares his guitar warmup methods that he uses before a show.

"If a chord is giving me trouble, I'll have that chord picked out in my mind and I'll sit there and sort of mime it," says Holcomb.

He also mentioned what he calls his "gangly" fingers, which make him have to warm up a little differently than other musicians.

Watch the video to see Holcomb's tips!

His guitar tone is dangerous! I've watched most of his 'tutorials' (or whatever you wanna call that kind of videos), and his guitar always had that awesome, sound! It's always nice to hear such a thing...
