  • Great Workout for the Hand!
Style: Varigrip Only(Original)
There are a number of different ways that you can work out your hands/fingers just by adjust the position. Adjusting the tension is also very helpful. It feels very sturdy.

Been using this for 2 months each morning and it truly helps strengthen my fingers. Fingers also got skinnier, whether this helped or playing the guitar, all good.

  • Handy finger-exerciser
Style: Varigrip Only(Original)
This unit has more utility and functionality than I had noticed when I first ordered it. The tension for each of the springs is adjustable by use of a small wheel on the palm end of each spring. The palm-side rubber grip is removable to reveal some raised ridges, which the manufacturer promotes as a way to help keep fingertip calluses in shape while away from your instrument. The packaging card describes multiple (6) ways to use the unit. I have used it several times and will continue to work with it in hopes that it will be helpful for building my finger strength while fretting chords and notes. Pretty cool little device - would make a nice gift for the guitarists in your life. Recommended. ... show more

  • A Guitarist Compares the Plant Waves Varigrip with the Grip Master
Style: Varigrip Only(Original)
I own a Blue (light tension) Grip Master and a Planet Waves Varigrip. Both are great and have helped my guitar fretting hand. I thought I'd give a quick summary for anyone considering purchasing one of these. I bought the Ruff Rider callus builder caps for the GM, and they really added a lot to the value I get from the GM. Calluses are critical to my being able to play well. If you are considering these, I found that it was a lot cheaper to order the Ruff Rider through Guitar Center and have them delivered for free to a local Guitar Center. I would suggest buying the actual PWV and the GM through Amazon. The PWV comes with the callus ridges on the opposing side (the palm side). So to work on your calluses you need to remove the callus cover and flip the grip over. The downside is that you can't work on finger dexterity at the same time that you are building your calluses. At first I considered this a disadvantage. However I've changed my mind and consider it a distinct advantage over the GM. There are times when you don't want to shred your calluses (show or important practice coming soon) but you still want to work your fingers. If you've put the callus builders on the GM, it takes a little time to pop them off and put them back on again, plus you run the risk of misplacing them, and removing them a number of times may loosen their fit. So I strongly prefer the PWV design for the callus option. I have permanently removed the callus cover from the PWV and it works great without it. Actually it works better for me because it makes it slightly smaller. (With the cover removed the callus builder side just harmlessly presses into your palm and you really can't feel it). I have a preference for the GM when it comes to building strength for bar type chords. This I do by holding the palm side with my thumb and running my index finger along the full set of buttons. I prefer the GM for this because it has two sets of springs in it which allow for a better and more natural (for me) squeeze. As far as exercising for finger dexterity, I much prefer the PWV for two main reasons. It's much easier (for me) to work fingers individually. It's very stable and allows me to isolate individual fingers as opposed to the GM which is kind of sloppy (too much movement) due to the double spring action which leads to unwanted movement/tilting and other fingers slipping off the buttons when trying to work a particular finger. Secondly the distance between the palm and the finger tips is about 1/4" shorter with the PWV (when the callus cover is removed) which allows me to use better form by really curling my fingers and bringing my fingertips in from the very top. I have big hands and still prefer the PWV. If my hands were smaller I would prefer the PWV that much more. The PMV also allows the tension on each finger to be adjusted individually. For me this isn't as big an advantage as the two previously mentioned because increasing resistance is not important to me. A disadvantage of the PMV is that after about 2 weeks it started squeaking which was a bummer for my wife and kids on a one week vacation when I didn't have my guitar handy and wanted to keep me fingers in shape. "Dad - enough already with that finger gadget". However this problem is easily fixed by an occasional shot of Triflo or any silicon spray (I don't recommend WD40). I recommend spraying while the fingers are depressed then wiping with a napkin. For me, finger strength is not as important as finger coordination and speed. I seldom press the buttons all the way down, and I seldom press all the buttons together. I slowly increase speed with partial pushes and various patterns that demand varying degrees of coordination (1234, 4321, 1324, 121314, 1414, 1313, etc.) If I had to pick one or the other I would choose the PWV without hesitation, but that is just my personal opinion. If you can afford both, I would do that and see what works better for you. But, again, both are great and have really helped my playing. Keep on pickin' -Mike ... show more

  • If your a shredder, you need this!
Style: Varigrip Only(Original)
I have been playing electric guitar for 12 years now and I do require a fair bit to warm up as I play progressive and technical death metal. Sometimes it can take 15 minutes of guitar exercises to get sufficiently warmed up and that is a bit to long for me so I have been looking into other methods such as this gripper, running hands under warm water, different exercises, etc. I squeezed this thing for maybe 3 sets of 10 after washing my hands in warm water and did some quick legato exercises and alternate picking and holy God. I have been learning this song involuntary doppelganger by Archspire and there is one spot I am working on that has these long legato lines that can be fatiguing. Did not bother me one bit, my hand felt so light and relaxed I was able to run the legato sequence on a loop and play it over and over at tempo. I definitely feel way better warmed up than I ever did using guitar exercises, I have one legato sequence I really like that is quick and works the hand good plus the 1-2-3-4 to lock in my pick and fret hand but this thing warms up your hand way better than just only doing exercises. I will still do some exercises but I don't have to spend 15 minutes to get really juiced up as this thing works so fast and we'll. Worth every penny. ... show more

  • Not for strength building
Style: Varigrip Only(Original)
This item does not have much resistance so minimal use for actual strengthening. Individual fingers can be worked out which is a plus.
