Sugar Will = massive endurance in the hand

Post by gravesRR7 »

and for those of you who thought this post was about wacking off........no



but this song is by far the hardest song i've played, in terms of how tired your hands get. it's so long, and you NEVER get a rest from that stretch

just play it a lot...you're hand will eventually be able to withstand all 12-14 mins of it..

It hurts my fingers, and mine can really stretch. Maybe Dave is taking painkillers before he plays the song, lol.

I can play it for 12-14 minutes with a recording.. without the recording i get bored and play something else.. it is easy to do once you do it for a while..just work hard on it

Never have stayed interested for more than 5 minutes. It's a great song but needs some solos to keep it interesting.

This song beats my hand real quick, my guitar teacher wanted to play "Eyes of the World' at a show next month and I looked at him and laughed, that song beats your hand maybe 4 minutes into it and thats not even into the jam at that point, hes been playing for 30 years and his hand hurts during the solos
