Just play bass, its the same thing.I can bend the hell out of bass strings, but it will impact my lead guitar playing if I put in too manyhours. I Do allot of recording and may do bass tracks for 4~5 hours.next day I come back to do lead parts and my hands are all crampy and my fluidity for playing smoothleads just isnt there. The strings feel too flabby and it takes a major effort to focus on the thinner strings.I'm cursed because I'll give 100% with any instrument I play. If you want a role model of someone whoseabused his hands over playing, I'm your guy.
I think when you have the ear for this...you gotta make a choice...tone or playability. SRV had to compromise as well. Took me some time to understand why he landed on .11s, not my choice, but I get 'why' he ended up there...play Pride and Joy on a Strat and it becomes clear, not to mention his choice of gear.

The answer lies in the bolded. That said, I come to learn..digging through tens tons of crap to find one little pearl of wisdom. Those pearls have made a difference.
So I learned after a while, to not engage in every stupid thread, but to engage in those threads that have some hope of going somewhere, some value, something important. It's out there. Just look for it. Be picky.
