I've been looking for years for something that would make guitar playing more difficult. There are lots of products out there to serve that purpose but today I finally found something that would not only make it really difficult to play but is also completely stupid as well. I'm sure Dub owns one of these but he's not answering my texts because I knows I want to borrow his and he doesn't want to give it up for even a day. I'm quite postive many of you own one of these and I'd appreciate any thoughts.  |

There's a brass version, but the finger holes are closer together and it doesn't stretch at all. I'm sure I could find another use for it, though.

Mine has an extension that goes around the back of the neck with a hole for my thumb. Even when my fingers are cold and dead you’ll never pry it off. |

If you are willing to do this, you might as well go to the next level and have the ligaments in your retting hand surgically removed. I hear being able to fret to first and 14th frets simoltainiously really opens up the fretboard.

I suppose something that helps you strengthen your fingers and increase your reach & flexibility isn’t really such a terrible idea. If it actually works, of course. It looks weird.
When I was playing guitar with the crazy guy I used some long stretch chords in some tunes pretty easily.
I tried one recently and I just couldn’t do it. Maybe my fingers got shorter.

I do see a problem with that, Todd. How are you going to play a G chord?

I was thinking of learning standing en pointe by simply wearing stiletto heels.
