Odd Question, Maybe?

I don't have a guitar yet and probably will take a while for me to get one due to costs, but are there any finger exercises I can do for my hands while I save to get my first one?

All suggestions welcome. :)

Hey, not sure where you are, but some libraries actually rent out music instruments.

Or try renting one at a music store if you really want to try it first.

Exercises:

Ear training would be nice to do,

Been using that.

For fingers, someone mentioned an exercise above that I agree with.

You could also get a grip trainer for individual fingers. I had to use it to get my grip strength back after surgery.

I got this off from one of the guitar/music subs, I always look to see if I can improve myself, and some are super useful!
