What tools should every guitarist have? Make the socket a deep socket to ensure you can also use it on the pots, too. Beyond that, good list. |

Guitar for super-small hands? Forgot to mention scale length. |

Guitar for super-small hands? Giving the best advice I can. I'm 6'3" with reasonably big hands (can't palm a basketball, but I can easily shuffle sixths in G). Really, the only way to really tell is to go to a well-stocked guitar store and start trying things on. |

Is it important for a guitarist to know how to use a pick? I was responding to this: "I strum very hard and I'm afraid that my guitar strings would break from the pick." Playing hard might occasionally break strings if you're Godzilla or play with a metal pick, but breaking strings comes more from string age, metal fatigue and problems with the instrument. Never meant to imply Pete doesn't play with a pick, just that the worry is not well founded. |

How do I chose my first electrical guitar? Also, if the fret ends stick out of the neck and cut your hand, that's a problem. |

Can I play a regular guitar as a Lap Steel by replacing its strings with steel strings? The action of my acoustic is naturally high enough that I can play steel on it, without a nut extender. Not that this is how it should be. Be aware that you can get something playable like this, but for what we normally think of for this style, you really want something with a resonator. |

Which instrument can a person play with 2 malformed fingers on each hand? I'd point out that Jerry Garcia and Phil Keaggy lost part of their picking hands. |
