I was in the middle of one of those meandering discussions one time when the question arose if you had to lose one of your fingers, which one would you choose? the first thought that occurred to me was that you never use your left thumb when typing, so I said I could part company with that one. My friends looked at me in amazement. The first one who could actually articulate the cause of their astonishment asked you’d give up the opposable thumb on your dominant hand? in retrospect that did seem like a pretty dumb thing to do.

If you include the sharps and flats (the black keys), there are 12 notes in an octave. There is a style of music called “Twelve Tone” based on this.

Glen Campbell played an 18 string guitar (and beautifully I might add). Still only ten fingers.

When asked about his 5-string guitar setup and playing style, Keith Richards said, “it takes 5 strings, 4 fingers, 3 chords and 1 a$$hole.”
