Since I was born I've had a problem with it which was somewhat corrected when I was about two years old. I'd show you a picture but I don't have one on hand Basically, there were never enough muscles in the meaty part of my thumb, and plus the thumb itself is slightly forward (like if I were to have my palm face my nose, the thumb would come closer to the nose than the other hand, which is normal). and doesn't bend quite as easily in the joint. Part of the problem was solved by taking muscles from from another part of the hand and putting them in my thumb, which resulted in some cool scars and a good deal of functionality, but this surgery is going to widen the distance between my thumb and index finger (just by cutting skin). I'm partially hoping this will help my picking, but thats not the real reason I'm doing it. I think my picking is more or less fine and normal and I can hold the pick like most of you do (thumb and side of index finger). But I'm just sitting here tonight hoping that whatever happens tomorrow doesn't set me back any or anything like that I know or know of other guitarists who have slight to serious problems (I'd consider mine very slight in regards to my playing) with their hands, curious if anyone at GMC does. I'm left handed because of it and I'd probably play guitar left handed except I'm not really capable of resting my hand on the neck and fretting strings at the same time, it just won't stretch that far, and though I don't plan to start all over again left handed thats another thing tomorrow might fix Just kinda nervous. Not my first surgery but I just hope it goes well You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
