Anyone noticed after you play alot and play for a long time that your fret hand is at least a little longer if not considerably longer than your strum hand. Mine is and a couple of the people I play with are... Weird eh :/. I'm def not complaining considering i have slightly undersized hands

Uh, i hope you arent trying to say your fingers actually get longer. Thats not true. If you mean they stretch out and become more flexable than your strum hand, then ill agree.

Yeah, but regardless of if its you, I really cant ever imagine any medical reason why your fretting hand would grow from playing guitar.

Well looking at it now i can see that some fingers are still the same length right now but my middle finger is about an 1/8th of an inch longer or so than the adjacent one on my right hand. I'll try and post a picture of this when i get home.

Maybe I'm just imaginging my left being longer because its on the topic but it really looks like it.

But you know, its all about perception.. and thats in the head.
For all my posts, just add "I think" in the beginning and "in my opinion" in the end. Now shut up!
