I saw some of the early post says that get a kapok train up finger strength....i actually disagree with it...no offence ya....

i actually met with quite a few guitarist n read alo of article abt practising....what they say is one should start with a decent guitar...actually we don't need alot strength to fret cleanly....coz if continuosly practising on high action guitars we tend to apply more pressure to fret it down...eventually fingers will getting stiffer...n once change to a good guitar...usually with lower action...we tend to fret with the same amount of strength we use on a high action guitar...n this will spoil the frets n fingerboard really fast...n actually will slower down ur figer movements....so it's always good to start with a better guitar....

sorry to those who disagree with me or offended by me.....good luck to those that are abt to start playing guitar....
