Joined: May 2005 Posts: 327 Location: Evansville,IN | Played my acoustic yesterday, and now this morning my fingers are sore. They never got sore from my electrics. Is this normal or is it just a rite of passage? :confused: | ||

I just started playing electric and bend the strings right off the fretboard, over the binding and I fret chords so hard they are out of tune... | ||

Joined: March 2002 Posts: 14842 Location: NJ | h-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m . . . . . After playing for three hours, the LAST thing I'll wanna do is to get my fingertips wet . . . . . . . I don't even usually wash my hands exceedingly thoroughly . . . . as wet fingertips tend to soften and become tender . . . making that fourth hour just that much more uncomfortable. I usually find that a liberal dosage of Patron' Tequila (taken internally) provides the right amount of analgesic relief to allow me to "Bin & Grear It" through the rest of the night . . . | ||

Joined: April 2005 Posts: 76 Location: Chapin SC | I actually looked up the directions on mapquest after I was looking at the TwoManGroup site, but 11 hours, even in a convertible, is a bit of a stretch, maybe if it were only 5 or 6, I'll just have to wait for the Video version to come out. don't bother washing for me. | ||
