Ancient Chinese Secret! (hand exercises)

Heres a great guitar secret that i discovered while in San Fransisco. I was in chinatown and they were selling "therapeutic Balls" what they were were two balls that you roll in your hand clockwise and counter-clockwise. i was reading the box and it sais that doing this exercises EVERY muscle in your hands. so it got me thinking. i went home and tried it with two golf balls on both of my hands. to my amazment: my trills, tapping and overall skill improved ALOT for my left hand. and twirling the balls on my right hand improved my finger picking, picking, strumming and over all skill. i know it sounds **** (to twirl balls in your hand) but you should try it.



If you do, any size ball will do as long as its around the size of a golfball. Spin the balls both clockwise and counter-clockwise on each hand for about 30 minutes each. Do this consistantly, and i guarrantee you will improve.

Yeah, I've got them and have used them for years. It's good for your health, too. As it gets the blood flowing round and ensures the oxygen is flowing properly through the body.

Beginners should start with light ones, then buy heavier ones as times goes on.

Use your fingers to move them around. kind of like how you would while tapping your fingers on the table. So do it ina motion, not all at once.

Ha, I thought I was the only one who owned those things. Mine have "magical" powers! And, by the way, they DO help to limber up the fingers! Thanks for reminding me.
