Ok well I just talked to him very shortly because we are heading to our place to practice but this is what he said Ill get more out of him once we get to the shed....

He said to one just look all over the web or create your own warm up exercise for both your pick hand and your fret hand. Start it about a hour before you play or really any time before hand just to warm you up.

He also recommended to bend your fingers back especially if you play with your fingers, but also to rub your knuckles and pop them and such. I told him about your hand cramping up during playing, he also said that it could be that ya you are holding the picks to hard/weird or wrong technique of holding the pick. He said he would show me "certain" ways to hold it and see if your holding it the right way or whatever. (I'm the drummer so I don't know much, but I can play guitar.)

You also might just be getting tired/stamina, drink a lot of water before a show just for the fact you are in front of a lot of people which=sweat and you can get dehydrated which=cramps.

But thats just basic stuff, I'll get more once I get to practice.

Also I'll try to find a link to it, but he has like a finger exercise tool he bought at a music store, and it helps build finger strength etc which will improve your fingers and such.
