Post by HumbleMonkey »

You could probably do foot-bass easily

Why doesn't he just play double bass drum or something

I can play upside down sort of but not with my feet at all. That has to take tons and tons of talent.

ya the only way he could do that would be to use open tunings, the foot just couldnt contort to formations the way the hand can

yeah i think you're right. it looked like that when i saw him

but the right foot, used for picking, was really sick

he was actually picking notes, relatively fast, with his toes. it was accurate too. then he picked up a pick and strummed with that

i once knew a chick who had no arms and she drove a car and grocery shopped and everything normal except with the feet. do you think that guy ever thinks, "shit man, how do all those guys play the guitar with their hands?"
