Would doing this increase your range that your fingers can stretch from eachother?

No, I don't think so. For me, it doesn't feel like the skin gets taut, just that my joins don't do that.

woah

what wynd said

your skin is flexible. you'll get a wider range if you regularly stretch them a little. no need to do horrible things.

But like, if you cut the joints too.

Like I play bass, if I did this would I be able to reach further frets without moving my hands?

I don't think I'd do it because of pain but it's a cool idea.

Like some Assassin's Creed stuff. Cut off your body part to be better at other things.

I wouldn't recommend that. Your fingers are limited to certain spacing for a reason. If your hand got pulled hard, that part that you cut will would take the fall for your finger instead of ripping your finger off of its socket, or straining / ripping the muscles. On top of that, your fingers would be very un-coordinated to use.

Ok I'll do that.

Thank you! :)

I was never planning on doing this though haha, I just thought it would be worth asking about.

Push your fingers apart with your other hand

You should notice that your joints reach their limit before the skin does (at least in my case)

Edit: "Cut the joints"? wat

[Awdax]

Place a tennis ball between your fingers. My buddy who also plays guitar does this and told me about it, it really helps. No need to harm yourself.

I don't even know. I was just being imaginative.

That sounds like a good plan.
