Left hand streght

Are you looking for like vibrato strength? Or picking strength.. lots of different strengths there.
If its vibrato.. just practice bends for a bit and then start bending back.. then figure out how much you wanna bend in your vibrato and work to that. I find some artists have deeper vibratos. Some have good control. I know what my trade marks are and I wanna expand.9n them myself personally.
If its pick exercises well just practice your scales.
You can also maybe get a squeeze ball I imagine thatll help your palm strength and I think that’s a big help in finger strength. Which goes all the way up the arm.

The techniques where you need the most strength for are probably bending, legato and hammer ons. So you can practice any of those and increase your strength.
Some exercises would be to play for example the fifth fret with your pinky, then hammer on to sixth fret with your middle finger, hammer on to 7th fret with ring finger and then hammer on to 8th fret with your pinky. A more straight forward thing would be to play a scale just up an down only doing legato. Maybe take a look at the legato etudes or the exercises mentioned in the hammer on and pull off lesson(I think it’s somewhere) in the intermediate section and the 3 legato exercises mentioned in the advanced section.

Strength comes down to basically two categories: small muscles that you improve by routinely training to move properly over time, and larger muscles that you improve by lifting weights. Yes that’s a massive oversimplification, but it is a practical way of seeing things. Of course I always preach massaging your forearms (top and bottom) before practicing to fix any hidden tension that might make you clumsy and slow.
Actual grip strength falls into the “lift weights” category. Raw deadlifts or rack pulls, fat gripz on dumbbells, farmers carries, that sort of thing. You can’t build real grip strength by playing guitar.
The muscles that “aim” your fingers are best improved through a daily routine. For example, if there’s a legato pattern you want to strengthen then try to practice it at least two different times every day for at least two weeks, preferably two months.
This is the legato pattern that I am currently working on: all hammer/pulls with pinky and ring finger “e 8 7 8 5” repeating. It looks simple but it sounds really cool.

Hello, guys
Hope you’re having a great day. Need your help, plsss.
I’ve been struggling with my left hand for a while, because Im feeling like I had loose strength in that hand. Have no idea what happened.
So, maybe I should do some excercises focus on that, but I dont know excercises which are focus en finger strength and grip.
If any of you have any excercise that helps me, I’ll be happy to read your advice and recommendation.
Sorry for my english, Im working on that too.
Love, M
