A Conversation for Guitar-related Injuries

Painful little bugger...

I just had another injury... well.. MINOR... but still, hellishly painful...

I was switching strings on an electric guitar, and was just fiddling to remove the B-string from the head when I felt this stinging pain in my index finger... It turned out that the e string had gone into the finger just below the nail and had worked its way diagonally inwards for at least half an inch!!! Also, my finger was now stuck between the e- string and the b-string, and in order to get it unstuck, I had to push the string further into my finger When i took it out, I measured the bloodstains on the string to be approximately an inch... And the most sensitive spot on your whole body is said to be directly below the nails...

Still, respect to all the other guitar-cripples out there... I realize that this was only a minor injury...smiley - winkeye
