Been Practicin'


RRRRR!!! 12 STRING MAN MAKE REEEEEAL CALLUSESES!!!! RRRRR!!! MAKE FINGER GO CRAMPY PLAY MINOR 7TH CHORD!!! RRRRR!!!
Actually, it's not quite as dramatic as it looks. The oxidization from the phosphor-bronze strings discolor the fingertips a bit, so it makes it look a bit like the caluses are, say, half-an-inch thick.
And, actually, I did not actually take this picture, actually. The Wifey wandered in as I was fooling with the camera and volunteered her assistance. This was the best of the half-dozen-- I kid you not-- snaps we took between the two of us. Mighty long way to go for a Stroh's. (This also had the best view of my beloved Adidas Samoas, very important.)

again with the pubes - I don't get it.

I also don't understand it, but this does make fascinating blogging.

Is it just coincidence, or do you go searching for "pubes" alot?

Most people use guitar strings.

In any case, what's fun is, after you've played an hour or two and your fingertips are greenish-gray, and that bit on your index finger that never quite callouses is glowing red from barring, you brandish your hand at somebody and go "Rrrrrr! RRRRrrrrr! Fretting Hand of Doom!"
