Dexterity contest
How about a contest showing unusual stuff on guitar you can do, that nobody else can do?
Like stretching further than anybody, playing behind your back, picking with your teeth, playing with your feet, solving a Rubics cube while doing Eruption....
You have to show a picture or a video to prove it.

Actually, seeing how far everyone can stretch would be fun.
Say from the 5th fret on the high E? And then the 5th fret on the low E? And you have to be able to hammer on and pull off the two notes you're stretching between.
Pictures would be cool. YUMMY HANDS ARGHGAHEHGG *drools*

I can do a tapping solo and recite Shakespeare at the same time.
I'd be interested to see how far people can stretch too.
Stay tooned... gotta make a video.

That doesn't look comfortable.

I can stretch to the fret wire between the 11th and 12th fret, but I guess only 11 counts. Same applies for bottom E.

I can just barely stretch that far... but it would be totally impractical... my fingers look like they're just a bit shorter, because I have mine extended more.
But I can play left handed AND right handed...
excuse the mess, and yes, the parrot is singing. he makes me play faster. parrot magic.
I can also play a right handed guitar upside down pretty well, i.e. scales, solos, etc and i can sweep a bit (the strings being upside down kind of messes with you), and I can form some basic chords. I'm not quite so good with a left handed guitar upside down though. |
