Essentials for building finger strength
Wednesday, December 13, 2006 | Trackback
As you start learning the guitar you'll realise one of the first things that will slow you down is lack of finger strength (and sore fingertips of course). So as well as practising those chords and scales you'll seriously need to build up some strength before you can really enhance your playing. Whilst this does come with practise I've come up with a top tip for you to improve your finger strength quickly.
Simply nip down to your local guitar shop or visit an online guitar store and buy yourself a GripMaster. This handy exercise tool helps develop total conditioning to each individual finger as well as the entire hand, wrist, and forearm and aswell as being invaluable to musicians is often recommended for those recovering from sports injury's to this area.
Of course if you wanted to do it on the cheap then why not squeeze a tennis ball for the same length of time. You can do it anytime, while watching tv or at work in the office. Just 30 minutes a day should improve both your finger and forearm strength which is always a good thing whether its to improve your guitar playing or doing DIY jobs around the house.
