At least that's what my wife said when I did it! :evil:

I don't argue, she puts up with me! :twisted:]]> Guitar Players Discussion racetruck1 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-234132 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-234121 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 07:25:50 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Maliciant https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-234121 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-234060 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 00:07:33 +0000 i know for a fact that my left thumb is nearly 3/16" thicker but that's from bowling for many years with a 16 lb ball. come to think of it, it's probably why my left fingers look longer as well.]]> Guitar Players Discussion TwistedLefty https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-234060 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-234057 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 00:00:20 +0000
Anyway, I think imagination is playing a big part in some of the posts here.
Or weed.
I've been playing for around 45 years, and I have serious calluses on my left hand fingers, most of which tend to be below the surface, not stacked up on top, ready to fall off if I do dishes or work in the yard... :wink: :lol:
If my fingers are longer on the left hand, it is virtually imperceptible.
BTW, I've used my thumb a lot over the 44 years, fretting both the 6th and 5th strings, and my thumbs seem identical in length.]]> Guitar Players Discussion OdNt43 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-234057 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-234030 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 20:12:09 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-234030 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-234020 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 19:53:19 +0000
Oh, yes. My fingers on the left are longer, my left foot is bigger (probably from stubbing my right toe on my wah), my right leg is shorter (proabably from excessive wah pedal use - damn, should have played something other than voodoo chile all my life).]]> Guitar Players Discussion ss43 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-234020 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-233991 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 16:36:13 +0000
Either way, we're not perfectly symetrical, any of you noticing a difference in the size of your hand, is your non-dominant hand the bigger one? (I'm right handed and my right hand has a few fingers slightly longer).]]> Guitar Players Discussion Maliciant https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-233991 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-233988 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 16:14:41 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion DickDale https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-233988 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-233726 Tue, 13 Mar 2007 05:07:31 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Kevin72790 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-233726 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-233723 Tue, 13 Mar 2007 04:50:05 +0000
I DON'T recommend making your fingers longer with a hammer! Dang, I was almost there...]]> Guitar Players Discussion redneckrocker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/are-your-fingers-longer-on-the-fretting-hand/paged/2/#post-233723
