emilxert Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Hey, pals. Seen Jimmy's hand prints in Hollywood and wondered if anyone knows, what his hands length is and middle finger in particular. MF looks like 8.5-9 cm, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugout83 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Isn't that kinda weird you would know that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilxert Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 That is weird. But iWanna know. It isn't yet possible for me to travel to LA to figure it out myself, so I hoped I'd find someone here. Perhaps there are even ppl, who compared their hands to his prints. In last case the whole thing would be whole lotta easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletMacaw Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Hey, pals. Seen Jimmy's hand prints in Hollywood and wondered if anyone knows, what his hands length is and middle finger in particular. MF looks like 8.5-9 cm, doesn't it? Since I've been looking at more photos and videos, I've noticed that Page has long arms, big hands with long fingers, and long legs...Kirk Hammett and probably a lot of other professional guitarists have similar builds. I know my short fingers (even for a woman) mean I will never be a really good guitarist . Are you thinking of buying Page a pair of gloves?

Sagittarius Rising Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 ^ Though finger length does make playing any stringed instrument easier there are many excellent guitarists with short, stubby fingers. The one that comes directly to mind is in my opinion the greatest classical guitarist ever recorded, Andres Segovia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilxert Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 http://gitbuddy.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/image_009.jpg This guy's complete hand is 18,5 cm long. MF is about 8-8,5 cm. Forget the hand, look at the fingers. They aren't completely inserted into this print, which points out that the difference between this guys MF and Jimmy's is nothing more than 0,5 cm. Thus Jimmy's MF is about 9 cm long, which isn't outstandingly long. I'd say average. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletMacaw Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Found an interesting discussion on guitars and finger length. It's mostly about classical guitar, and there's some disagreement about Segovia's fingers: http://www.guitarsalon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5185 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pottedplant Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 This is why I love this board. You learn all kinds of kinda weird stuff about the guys. JP's MF length. Not strange at all that emilxert would know this. We even, through very reliable sources, know exactly what articles of clothing each member of the band wore at every concert and also what they wore to and from the airport to get to and go from each concert.LLH: LOL I'm glad you admitted to it, I was wondering myself...MF...WTF?

emilxert Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Ok, I finally got almost precise data. Fretting hand length from bottom to the top of the MF: 19 cm. Index: around 7,5-6 cm; MF: not more than 8,5 cm; Ring: weird digit ratio on the fretting hand, max 7,8-8 cm; Pinky: 6,5-6 max. Thumb was the most difficult to figure out, but not longer than 7 cm. Fingers aren't superlong at all. That photo with his hands resting on his knees isn't extraordinary. His fingers were super-thing then, which creates sort of an optical illusion. But in regards to the palm breadth - it is enormous: 10,3 cm. Ok, now this thread is totally done :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
