Funny thing, when I started playing, I would always look for a guitar with a narrow, short scale neck, thats why my Buckel was made the way it is. 1 3/8ths inch wide nut and Gibson scale, also the neck is very thin.

But as I got older and got more guitars, I found that thicker and heavier necks made it easier for me to play faster and bar chords quit being so hard to play. In fact, my Dean acoustic twelve has a neck that would make a really good telephone pole!

I think that anyone can get used to any guitar if you play it enough!
I like a wide neck for chords and a thin neck for lead playing, JMHO.

But, everyone should apply their own tastes.]]> Guitar Players Discussion racetruck1 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/3/#post-209125 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/3/#post-208969 Mon, 13 Nov 2006 06:42:28 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Fah Q https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/3/#post-208969 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/3/#post-208361 Thu, 09 Nov 2006 16:57:10 +0000
The finger thing is pretty non-conclusive when it comes to playing, IMO. Look at Shawn Lane! I've seen enough shed demons on youtube to pretty much put that theory to rest :D]]> Guitar Players Discussion MattyPretends116 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/3/#post-208361 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/2/#post-208250 Thu, 09 Nov 2006 00:21:21 +0000

It says men with short index fingers are more aggressive. Hmmm... maybe, I got in lots of fights when I was a kid in school. But I am mellow now. :twisted:

This researcher is going to study hockey players, LOL. They must all have 1 inch index fingers. :D]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/2/#post-208250 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/2/#post-208177 Wed, 08 Nov 2006 18:06:55 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/2/#post-208177 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/2/#post-208151 Wed, 08 Nov 2006 16:33:31 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion bobblehat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/2/#post-208151 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/2/#post-208114 Wed, 08 Nov 2006 06:25:22 +0000


...had some pretty big, non-Duane Allman hands.

Sort of the opposite of the 'slender, long-fingered musician's hands' you hear tell about ;)]]> Guitar Players Discussion DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/2/#post-208114 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/2/#post-208100 Wed, 08 Nov 2006 03:36:47 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Eric M https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/2/#post-208100 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/2/#post-208090 Wed, 08 Nov 2006 02:29:05 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion duffmaster https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/2/#post-208090 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/2/#post-208088 Wed, 08 Nov 2006 02:24:38 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion AKFlyingV https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/big-hands-little-hands/paged/2/#post-208088
