my fingers are probably small compared to most people but the thing that really bothers me is that some of them aren't straight! three of them, at the most distal phlange, point outward....
My hands are pretty similar to Duane Allman's......
Just wish I could play like him.....
:D :D :D

Somehow Vic, I just can't imagine you having short fat fingers, it wouldn't make much sense.

Vacate is the word...Vengance has no place on me or her...Cannot find a comfort in this world.
I have small hands, small fingers ... overall, I'm small! :D

Small hands, short thin fingers...even for a female, I think. It's been tough over the years to find a good fit (guitar-wise). Serves as a great excuse for playing poorly, but I'm not going for that now!

Big hands

I have small, fat fingers that are the exact opposite of Duane's skeletal digits.
tiny fat fingers...
Who needs a signature?
I mean really...
It's almost always lyrics...
or a cliche...
or garbage about me...
Lets just save YOU from the pain, ok?
I am ham fisted , big farmer hands with fat fingers that have a major problem with that a chord!!! Seems to me that long and skinny fingers would make it much easier to fret chords.
Now this guy....
...had some pretty big, non-Duane Allman hands.
Sort of the opposite of the 'slender, long-fingered musician's hands' you hear tell about ;)
smallish hands, small index finger!

playing whilst drunk is only permitted if all band members are in a similar state!
I guess mine would be average or medium sized. My ring finger is just slightly longer than my index finger.

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
Here is an article about short index fingers. I guess they study everything.

It says men with short index fingers are more aggressive. Hmmm... maybe, I got in lots of fights when I was a kid in school. But I am mellow now. :twisted:
This researcher is going to study hockey players, LOL. They must all have 1 inch index fingers. :D
