My hand has become a hideous claw—look away!
Warning! Graphic in nature yet completely unnatural!
Okay, Rockband is making me a *cripple, but I can’t stop!
I did finally nail Enter Sandman by Metallica on Medium, but I practiced on Expert—mind, as well as hand-wrist, numb…
There is something that I can do on Expert—sing! I mastered Don’t Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult. I think we should fear the reaper, but right now I fear that my hand might be permanently paralyzed into a claw shape—it’s not working unless I put the guitar in it…
I think I’ve stumbled onto a new syndrome—Rockband Clawhand Syndrome or Guitar Hero Jimmy-hand Dysfunction (although similar, not to be confused with Kramer’s **Jimmy Legs syndrome)
**Jimmy Legs references:
*cripple: If I have been crippled then in fact I am a cripple, no offense intended, but if taken, you will have to live with it—as I have to live with this dysfuntion…
