Seriously though, I think Buckethead and Paul Gilbert would likely be the choice for longest fingers! Brett Garsed has said how he has small hands on his DVD, but that hasn't stopped him from being an amazing player. _________________ Paul Tauterouff

I think watching Micheal Romeo play goes to show it doesent matter to much how big or small your fingers!!! but I can see where it helps for those holdsworthy chord shapes etc, I have average size fingers I think, _________________ "The reason why guthrie is so good, is that he doesen't spend most of his time on the petrucci forum bitching about vai"
Well, the Petrucci Forum isn't so much a Petrucci Fan Club as it's about shredding in general. I'd venture to say that more than half of the regular posters there aren't Petruccu fans. Many there have said that they really dislike Petrucci. It's just become the de facto forum for shredders.
Yes, that's an accurate way of putting it. Many forumites who've been there for several years rarely discuss John Petrucci at all. It's mostly the younger forumites who start threads primarily about Petrucci.
I've never been a fan of John Petrucci, and I've never presented me as such either. I just like discussing music in general over there, anything from Guthrie Govan to the Sugababes. Some subjects are prone to ignite flame wars, but I'd rather have a heated discussion than no discussion at all. All in all, a quality forum for interesting music discussions.

Yup, big hands and long fingers are way overrated. Actually, I'd say it (big hand) can become a disadvantage. People expect you to burn and do all kinds of crazy stuff on the fretboard if you have large hands. Big hands and fat fingers would also make it difficult to play in the higher register, me thinks. _________________ Ed Yoon

Yeah, I still try to drop in every now and then. There are just so many other things going on with me lately that I just haven't been able to stop by. It's a fun forum if you're in the mood for it. I've never been into DT or JP either. Just not my thang although I certainly respect the band and JP... _________________ Ed Yoon
