Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		I have not been able to play-on-the-streets for a coupla days because it has been so cold.
I went-out yesterday but could only play for about an hour.
It was sunny, but only 38° with a 20mph.
This made my fingertips painfully numb, even with fingerless gloves.

I didn't go out today, but I did Learn Something New
So, I will probably go-out tomorrow and give this a shot!

That left hand is the important hand.
It is also the hand that goes numb first.
I will still have to play fingerless on the right hand for finger-picking.
But I can wear a full glove on the right hand when using a plectrum and go with the fingerless glove for finger-picking.

Over the years since you came on the OFC, amazing. Both as to contributions to the OFC and your playing...congrats.

I've got to wonder if having a Koa TRC on your guitar (in the video) makes it feel that much warmer!
