Southpa Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) Just checking everyone's lateral manual dexterity to see if guitar players are any better than non players. Nah, actually I'm just really, really bored and want to check out this poll thingy. I'll give it a week and make a funny little pie chart. sorry, must've made a mistake I don't see any poll options...nevermind.

I can do the vulcan thing with both hands...actually, it's a sign Jewish priests (Cohenim) make...Leonard Nimoy borrowed it for Star Trek...not sure where that Vulcan death grip comes from...maybe his mother?

marksound Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Both hands, but I never could quite get the salute from 3rd Rock From The Sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitefly SA Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I couldn't do it but now I can with only my right hand. I have the 3rd Rock salute mastered though. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 both hands easy..i can't roll my tongue though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrasher! Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Easily, both hands. I remember my sister used to have to do that as an exercise for playing the viola. Can't see where it comes into guitar playing though I can raise my right eyebrow like Spock used to do on the old star treks, but if i try it with the left, they both move. Weird....

Daniel Sorbera Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Easy both hands. But I can also do something weird. When I try to spread my fingers apart I can spread my left hand about 1 inch more than my right. It's deffinitly from guitar playing as it wasn't like that before I started playing.

Nitefly SA Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Open palm slap yourself on the forehead, slide your hand around the side of your head and when you get to the back push your hand forward until it reaches your forehead again.

Southpa Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 (edited) I didn't know I could set this right with a simple edit!

I never thought about that before - just measured it and left hand spread is 9", right hand only 8". Cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I can do the spock thing on both hands. Here's one, though: Same idea, only instead of index+middle and ring+pinky, try index middle+ring pinky. I can do that with my right hand, but it takes a bit longer to work it out on my left. For all you guys whose finger don't spread the same length, it may just be, you know, a slight deformity (too strong a word, but its late, and I can't think). =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought it might just be the way I am, but like I said, it wase not like that before I started playing guitar. Which leads me to believe that -may- be the cause....
