giving it strength was tricky for me, I tried hand exercisers but they never really worked...so I found another way.
as weird as this sounds, place two rubberbands around your four fingers (so that their anchoured near the main joint on the index and pinky) and stretch them outward...hold that position for 10 seconds, and then relax. repeat 10 times. If you've got REALLY weak hands do it with one, sometimes i feel like my pinky is gonna break, so be careful with it, those rubberbands pull! (use the thin ones too, not the thick bastards!)
for more control try doing some high solos with your pinky, start on the high E string pulling off something like this - 19p17p15 and going up to 20p17p15 occasionally, so repeat it megadeth speeds :P pull off the 20 and 19th frets with your pinky, 17 ring, 15 index.
im sure more people will have more opinions here, usually some critisizing me :P lol but yeah, this stuff helped me so i hope it helps you
