Guitarists!!! What are your hands like?

I have really small little fingers, i dont think its a disadvantage since my hands are quite big anyway...but i wish they were just a bit bigger.

I would say mine are average size.
Sloppier than a blind man with a typewriter, speedier than that kid who always finished tests first but failed, more fumbling and bumbling than a special olympics relay race, it's: TYPO MAN!

Bright eyed kid: "Wow Typo Man, you're the best!"

Typo Man: "Thanks kidz, but remembir, stay in skool!"

I guess I'm kinda lucky... I play bass and guitar but for a chick I have fairly long fingers, which is cool for both instruments I spose.

But it's not the length of the fingers... it's how u use them... hehe :)

mine are very short and stubby. terrible for playing guitar. although I do have that genetic thing where I can bend the tip of my third finger completely flat at a 90 degree angle. good for barring the top 3 strings.

I'm a guy but I have sort of girlish hands: thin, soft (that's what all the girls say anyway) hands with thin long fingers. I played basketball for 13 years so my hands , fingers and wrist are quite flexible. Yet I'm not a Mike McCready by miles. Not even a Stone, just an Eddie.

finger size isn't that important just think about Jerry Garcia......
My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.
