And she looked like she was wondering what to have for dinner . I wonder what Ludvig would think of the slightly over driven valves ?

Always amazes me how a man with fingers like Lincolnshire sausages can be as dexterous as those girls flying around the fret board.   You would have thought that he would never find the notes or be able to do complex chords, at the same time you would have thought that the girls with their spindly little fingers would not have enough strength to do bends and vibratos.  Look at nine year old Taj Farrant

I suppose that I am more surprised that guitars seem to have such a one size fits all fret board

He does make it looks easy...

Im glad more woman are playing guitar, especially rock guitar nowerdays. They have thin fingers - it makes sense

But the more I think about it the stranger it is that we all have very different shoe and glove sizes for which we buy different shoe and gloves.

My wife’s hands and fingers are half the size of mine and her shoes are size 6 whereas mine are 11

Then there are those tiny Chinese girls playing the piano incredibly well and you would not have thought that they could even stretch an octave!

So why are there not different keyboards and fret boards to match?

i was asked to play the organ in our local Church the other day. The hymns went quite well but I was not sure what to play as people were coming in and leaving at the end.  I chose Riders on the Storm but played at quarter speed!  One person recognised it!  But the point about the organ in the Church is that it is a Snetzler from 1775 and very rare and valuable but the keys on it are about three quarters of the width of normal keys and it was very difficult for me not to hit three notes at the same time with one of my great fat fingers!
