My martin HD 28 sounds great but my hands are small-- advice

[Ranting Thespian]

I have semi small hands. I make up for it because I can stretch them freakishly, lol.

LOL

I know, I gross people out sometimes. I also have extreme hitchickers thunbs. One makes a perfect right angle, the other barely makes it. I can do some kewl tricks with them by bending them over eachother in certain ways, lol.

Please keep discussions to one forum and one thread. Thanks!

damn this dude made 3 threads in the same section about his small hands.

"Carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands."

I can play different songs, but when it comes to playing something like "Neon" for example a John Mayer song... I can't because of my hands being to small. Can anyone reccomend some acoustic guitars preferrably by Martin that have a small neck which would allow me to play everything I want?

thanks!

go buy new hands...they come in a pack of 2 for about 20 bucks at walmart

how long have you been playing martin man? if you are still fresh out of water then all you need is practice.
in which case, you are a lucky SOB for having a martin and just starting.

Fist and foremost you're trying to play John Mayer songs, yikes ...

Seriously though, practice, use lighter gauge strings too, it might help.
Your hands will grow accustomed and be able to stretch with practice.

Some of the small body guitars have slightly smaller necks, you just have to look at the spec's to be certain.
