quote:
anyone else has bent slightly towards the ring finger, up from the middle joint? Mine are like that. I’m right handed. On the left, the middle’s fairly straight and the index and ring curve toward it after the middle joint. On the right, the ring’s fairly straight, and the index and middle curve toward it. The curves are more pronounced on my right hand. On both hands, the nails are off center (a little closer to the side away from the thumb). Extended, they look pretty ugly but everything seems to line up right when they’re bent in playing position. I think Ricardo’s right. I’ve seen photos of Sabicas with fat, gnarly fingers, but I think it was just his old age when the photo was taken. Short fingers on plump hands seem to get the most consistent results. Melchor and many others. The thing is, Paco had long (and maybe twisted) fingers, and nobody has played as well as he did.
