Guitar muscle?

Unread post by mangold » Wed May 04, 2005 9:30 pm

I've noticed that when i pinch the skin inbetween my thumb and forefinger on my right hand there is just skin... but my left has a muscle... i think its from playing on my 12er... anybody else notice this?

right in between my thumb and first finger I have huge muscles. I can kind of squeeze my thumb with my fingers on either hand to flex these muscles. They are neat to show to people, some are quite amazed.

Yeah I know what you mean, the fretting hand fingertips have less give then on the strumming hand. But that it mostly due to callouses. I have no finger prints on the tips of all fingers except the thumb on my fretting hand, and almost no feeling in those areas as well.

Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
