Members Unstrung Posted June 23, 2010 Members Share Posted June 23, 2010 I love Romeo's playing; it is so perfected. Lane's also. Actually they have a similar vibe going on, to me, only one is more fusion oriented and the other is more metal/neoclassical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members grunge782 Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 I'm not sure if romeo's and shawn lanes hands are actually smaller. Both of them in those videos are pretty chubby meaning that their hands compared to their arms look smaller. Vai and Gilbert are 2 pretty skinny dudes which makes their hands look bigger compared to their arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Das Booty Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 About the only advantage I can see is in stretches...I would think Vai and Gilbert didn't have to develop their hands as much to perform them. But Romeo and Lane are proof that skill CAN be developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TurboRotary13b Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 Gilbert is the {censored}ing man... There is no one else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members oryan Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 God {censored}ing dammit!!! Every time I see Paul Gilbert play I just stare in amazement. I pick my jaw off the floor, shake my head and walk away with my tail between my legs. That {censored}er is so damn good, I feel as small as ant {censored}. How can I possibly play guitar after seeing that? Pfft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ke2 Posted June 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 The clips were random, just looked for some that would show their hands better. Yea, Shawm and Romeo are kinda big fellers, but if you compare their had to the fretboard instead of their arms, Vai and Gilbert both look like shovels compared to the other two.I`ve read several places that people struggle with something on the guitar because of hand size, but it seems like Romeo and Lane prove that it doesn`t matter And funnyguy: I guess you can call it fapping, since guitar masturbation and wanking are used to describe the style of all four players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rydock Posted June 24, 2010 Members Share Posted June 24, 2010 Would you rather have big hands that could make you a guitar god and allowed you to play any phrase or riff, but in exchange you would have to have a small dick. OR would you rather have a woman pleasing tree trunk, but had super small hands that would make it really hard to play guitar, even with years of practice? Which would you choose?

I'm sure the "struggle" is there...these guitarists more or less are proof that this skill can be achieved through struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have long hands, but my palm is a little longer than my fingers. Stretching was never too much of a problem for me, but I sure as hell ain`t nowhere near PG`s machine gun precision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
