finger strengthening exercises for playing guqin instead of changing guqin or strings

More finger strengthening exercises for playing guqin. hahaha

Regardless of playing with metal-nylon strings or with silk strings, like it or not, playing guqin *is* a strength related activity. Instead of changing strings or changing guqin because of so-called 'playability' issues of the musical instrument, why not simply strengthen the player instead? haha...

Yes, that old fool in the video was silly me doing nine and a half pull-ups on 19 July 2014 Saturday morning in my home in Singapore. haha (Don't worry, it is not NSFW. I did not expose any *dots* 沒有露點, which means it is completely Safe for viewing at work. hahaha)
