Guest James Newsted Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 My apologies for creating a new topic which as it would seem to be on a topic far from what is generally posted. I'm a new member who would like some information (any information) on how to develop finger strength and power (if there is a such a thing). I play guitar and like many people who visit this page do some form of weight training. Please anyone out there if possible HELP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyBurks Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 Increased my finger strength and rehabed a finger/forearm strain with a titans telegraph and eagle loops. With the eagle loops I did one finger curls. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AghastGrip Posted July 4, 2001 Share Posted July 4, 2001 James- I also play guitar, and how I first got started on griptraining anyway was with a "Gripmaster" finger exerciser. They are only about 10 bucks each, and they range from Extra light to Heavy tension. Check out what I mean at http://www.futuremedia.org/Media/imedia/li...ster/grip1.html You can find them at about any music store, or a sports equipment shop. I've found them to be quite helpful to directly building strength that helped with my guitar playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilla Hands Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 James, I play bass myself and some fingerstyle guitar. The best excersise of grip I have found for this endeavor is pinch gripping. All widths and shapes of objects. Giving yourself a broad range of strength in the pinch will yield benefits towards playing. If you have any more detailed questions about music grip training just e-mail them to me. Good Luck, David (Edited by Gorilla Hands at 11:05 am on July 5, 2001) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Al Stuckey Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 I agree with Gorilla Hands. I play acoustic guitar, and train my grip regularly. I train on the G-Rex 621, and have found that the pinch grip function on that machine has helped immensely with my playing.
