If anyone is into blues, you need to check out Jordan Lunardini “Moonshine Gospel.”
Their awesome. I also have another question, does anyone know of exercises and or devices to work your hands on stretches and flexibility. I can stretch my hand five frets but do not have much finger movement when I do it up around the first five frets.
Can't you see that there's light in the dark.

    with regards to exercises, I just run up and down the strings, two frets per string, periodically changing from 1st and 2nd finger to 1st and 3rd and so on. Then gradually expand the fret stretch from 1 to 2 and so on until you can do huge stretches. On the upper frets I can run up and down the strings (two frets per string) with a stretch of 10 frets. sometimes more.
