GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome (Part 2)

Yep, that’s been recommended for a while.

I was just riffing off of @joergkutter’s comment:

Which would be hands at 10 and 2. :grin:

Oh, yes. Those “that could easily become an obsession” things. Now I want it to happen again but with all four tuners parallel to the headstock. :upside_down_face:

I’d never heard it until my buddy’s kid took his driving test and mentioned it.

I prefer one hand at midday and the other one free to scroll through BassBuzz on my phone obvs.

Both instructions are news to me. I think it has a lot to do with power steering and small steering wheels which handle completely different to large wheels that are hard to turn and need help after a turn. But the natural position for our wrists is certainly not 9-3.

Just bring your knees up to steer while using both hands to post. :raised_hands:

One hand works fine for some people.
Check out this example.

Been using that grip for years now for ‘normal’ driving but for long distance motorway driving I was once advised by an instructor and another time by a traffic cop to use something around 4 and 8. This allows your hands to rest lightly on your legs and drops your shoulders making for more relaxed driving and less tiring. I can drive like this non stop (other than fuel stops) for 8 hours or more.

Won’t work. :cry:

My cat got his license suspended after he was pulled over for a traffic stop and he hacked up a hairball on the cop.

Thanks for asking. She’s a bit better. I’ll be a lot happier when she’s back to her spunky self.
