I have one of those, but I still prefer my shredneck when I'm on vacation away from my guitars as it helps maintaining the fingertip callus & allows to practice scale runs.

I ad it in my hand, it doesn't feel very comfortable. I am not sure if those springs will last long!

I have two issues with these devices:
1. The springs become creaky/squeeky and eventually a spouse or co-habitant will complain during use. 2. Gerardo Siere pointed out quite smartly that one constant goal is lessening our grip on the instrument. I suppose if you truly don't have enough grip to lessen, these would be useful. Seems you could just do curls with a litre of springwater and work the same muscle group that lies at the end of the same tendons... right? -------------------- ::jafomatic

QUOTE (VictorUK @ Oct 4 2009, 02:53 AM)  hmm i dont see why a guitarist would need this, since very little strength is needed to play guitar.. That depends, but I would say that the microforces involved in using this device are different than the ones that need to be applied when playing various things on the neck. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I don't really believe in this thing. The strenght in playing is coming with guitar practicing not with body building

Hey, maybe that's my problem. I'm hanging onto my guitar like I'm hanging from a cliff!

I think it is better to play a lot of scales
This is a good exercise for ear, hand coordination and brain. I would rather practice 10 min a day on this lesson GMC Hand synchronization that with this. -------------------- Gear:
