I laughed when I looked at the photo in the ālearn moreā section of the C chord lessonā¦there is a photo of Justinās handā¦it has 5 fingers. It is obviously not a real photo of his hand but it got me thinkingā¦would an extra finger be a help or a hindrance?
Also, the photo is not of the āC chordā.
Iād be happy if my little finger was just a wee bit bigger.
Hound Dog Taylor had six fingers on his fretting hand.
His most famous quote: āWhen I die, theyāll say āHe couldnāt play shit, but he sure made it sound good,āā
This caused me to look into Hound Dog a little more, and found this. It may or may not partially answer your question.
āTaylor was born with polydactylism, a condition that causes the formation of additional fingers or toes. Both his hands had six fingers. Although the sixth wasnāt functional, his fifth was extra-large, and some theorize that its additional bulk and strength may have helped him more aggressively pin the strings with his slide.ā
