Hi! Since I will not be at home for next 4 days, I was wondering if anybody knows some exercices you can do without a guitar. I know this sounds stupid and its only 4 days, but I would die for some hints. Thanks (unfortunatly there is no way to take my guitar with me) Hey that's a great question, and I want to know the answer too - I travel a lot on business. Are those left hand strength trainers any good or just hype? -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I have one of those hand strength trainers. I have found that it is useful to stengthen the pinky, but it doesn't do much for my other fingers. At least that is my experience. I have plenty of strength in the other fingers so I don't need it there. I can only half-recommend one of those - if there is such a thing as half-recommending! Well, its the half that matters to me, my pinky is an anemic shade of my other fingers so maybe I'll pick one up at the weekend, and walk home counting in my head to prepare some blank fingerboard charts, after which I'll pick the desk to shreds -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

lol I do the same thing I get a lot of weird looks I am counting to 6 and moving my fingers around on the desk like it is the fret board and I am strumming. I will even sometimes sing. I'm in a hotel room now, just me, my laptop and my finger trainer ... -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Ah Hah!! By the end of the day your pinky should be stronger than ever! How do you like it? I haven't used mine in a while. Its definitely working the pinky - I do a few minutes then stop when it starts to ache a little - don't want to overdo it. Feels like the same ache as when I practice with it, so it must be hitting the right muscle groups ... -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
