As Auck session dude Dave Bridgeman used to say: "And the fingers never leave the hand"

...that's right, isn't it? they're for stopping your fingers flying off, right?

Random. Strength helps for bends and wide stretches, but I think shred speed is mostly due to efficient movement and training your brain to fire off the nerve impulses quickly, which is going to take the same amount of time to learn whether you've got rubber bands on your fingers or not. Want resistance training for guitar? Get a 12 string.

You can get fast in only 3 minutes a day! Then look how Riffbanz folds up and slides under your bed!

Do you get a free set of steak knives with it?

I heard Paul Gilbert sold his soul for flat abs and string skipping skills? :wtf:
