Shredneck The Ultimate Practice and Warmup Tool for Guitarists (Silver, Chrome Hardware)
The SHREDNECK (Patent Pending) is the ultimate practice and warm-up tool for guitar and bass players. When it is not convenient to play guitar, or if a guitar is not available, or if you are traveling, on the way to a gig, hanging out or just watching TV, you can still practice and develop your playing skills. The SHREDNECK is designed to feel and play like the first 7 Frets of a guitar. The fret spacing and neck width are modeled after the first seven frets of a standard electric guitar. You can work on lightning fast runs, chords, percussive elements or simply warm up your hand in anticipation of playing guitar. Unlike hand exercisers which generally have been designed for therapeutic reasons, not to help improve your guitar playing skills, the Shredneck has been specifically designed to help you warm up for gigs, develop your playing skills and maintain and build calluses. Handy-dandy gig bag included so you'll never leave home without your SHREDNECK!
What can the SHREDNECK do for you?
The SHREDNECK will help you develop your playing skills, particularly your fingering and playing speed. Since the SHREDNECK uses real strings and frets, you will also develop calluses needed for playing. The SHREDNECK is also an ideal way to warm-up before playing or performing. You can also use the SHREDNECK to keep warmed-up between sets.
The SHREDNECK is not a hand excerciser, it is a practice and warm-up tool. SHREDNECK makes no medical claims about this product or hand excercisers on the market as they are not doctors nor are they skilled in any way in any medical field. However, as life long guitar players they do feel the hand excercisers on the today's music market were actually originally developed for theraputic reasons, not to help guitar players improve their playing skills and dexterity. As a player you would want your hands and fingers to be limber and quick. Hand exercisers can build strength which they feel can actually slow you down and make it uncomfortable to play. The SHREDNECK is closest thing to playing guitar other than actually playing guitar!
How to use/play the SHREDNECK:
The Shredneck is designed so that the headstock is actually the "body and a headstock". This is why it's called the "headstock/body". The taper of the neck is designed so that it is wider at the point where the neck and the headstock/body meet than at the top where the string holes are located. When you are sitting, place the curved part of the headstock/body on your thigh (see photo 1). Now, the run scales or finger chords on the neck with your fingering hand (if you are a right handed guitar player your fingering hand is your left).
