If you can master an acoustic and be relatively entertaining with it, you’ll go much further and have much more longevity in music than if you cant. Too many new players hide behind effects and distortion to cover up their inadequacies and you know it. You cant possibly tell me, with your extensive experience, you haven’t noticed this. [/quote]

Nobody is arguing this point.

Why do you keep associating my posts with Nirvana? That’s retarded, and more evidence you have retard guitar Tourrette’s Syndrome.

Know I know what ProfX deals with in the BB forum. So many people are caught up on the wrong things and get nowhere or sell themselves short worrying about shit that doesn’t matter.

The bottom line is that you build “hand strength” by----- you guessed it---- PRACTICING. Focusing on hand strength by starting with a high action acoustic at the expense of making progress (like in weightlifting) is ------ you guessed it ------- RETARDED.

When using finger weights on a guitar, is it better to train the entire hand in one session, 3x a week, or would it be wiser to just focus on one finger per session and really destroy each one?

I have a major imbalance in my little finger compared to the rest of my digits, due to not training it during the first few years of playing (I know, I know - typical newb mistake).

Do I need a pinky specialization program?

A couple of girls I know volunteered in a South African orphanage for a while. They came back with these and we would walk around Boston blaring them at the Scientologists.
