With the help of a guitar trainer, you can refine you bass or guitar playing skills on both the physical and the technical side. The most well known trainers help strengthen your hands and fingers, but there are also electronic trainers with a few functions that can help hone things like technique and timing.
Hand & Finger Guitar Trainers
The trainer that most guitarists and bassists will already be familiar with is the finger trainer. These little widgets have a spring-loaded button per finger and basically provide resistance training for your fret hand to better prepare it to handle the string tension of your instrument, helping you play more accurately and with more speed. As well as strengthening your hands, these trainers are a great backstage warm-up tool for pianists, violinists and trumpeters as well as guitarists and bassists. Even if you want to train all the muscles in your hand, your wrist and your forearm, you'll be able to find the right trainer in our range.
Digital Guitar Trainers
You can also get digital trainers that you can plug your guitar or bass into. These multi-functional devices often feature a tuner and some form of audio-based rhythm trainer like a metronome to help tighten up your timing. Many models will also have a recording function, so you can both listen back and check your progress and lay down ideas. More modern examples even offer the option to adjust the speed and/or pitch of an audio track and loop trickier sections so you can nail your favourite songs in your own time and at your own speed. To make everything that bit sweeter, a lot of trainers also come with some built-in effects.
