Members WillShrdForFood Posted May 25, 2007 Members Share Posted May 25, 2007 I've just been sitting here bending my fingers backwards on the edge of my keyboard table, and I noticed that the fingers on my left (fretting) hand can bend backwards a lot farther than the fingers on my right hand... Are you guys the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sonofabias Posted May 26, 2007 Members Share Posted May 26, 2007 For me they are both equal, but I've always done many kinds of things to inhance flexibility (martil art, yogic etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theGhost Posted May 26, 2007 Members Share Posted May 26, 2007 my fingers don't really bend backwords. they become flush extensions of the back of my palm, and that's it. is that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members T2Russo Posted May 26, 2007 Members Share Posted May 26, 2007 It's easier to both unhook a bra and pleasure the ladies with my left hand... and I gravitate towards using it almost 50/50 with my right hand for basic use, other than writing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hopelesshopes Posted May 26, 2007 Members Share Posted May 26, 2007 Sort of, but not really. I do find that the finger nails on my fretting hand grow faster than on my picking hand though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and your picking hands 1st finger is probably bent too because of the pick holding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted May 26, 2007 Members Share Posted May 26, 2007 Yes, and your picking hands 1st finger is probably bent too because of the pick holding.My fingernail on my right index finger is worn down permanently from picking so hard. The fleshy tip of the finger is also kind of flattened compared to the rest.Eh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quijibo Posted May 26, 2007 Members Share Posted May 26, 2007 hell yeah. i play a lot of basketball too and i can dunk/palm a basketball a lot easier with my left hand. cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soulcrusher_X Posted May 26, 2007 Members Share Posted May 26, 2007 I write left handed, so that could be another reason. I'm also a mechanic, so my hands are pretty strong, too. I can break open walnuts with bare hands. That's always a fun party trick. though I wish I could pick left handed, because I can play a song with all hammer-ons and pull-offs on a lefty guitar. I just can't get my left hand to pick as fast as my right hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
