At the spa right now with a sizable group of po

Sorry about that, had to tell somepony off for splashing at me. Don’t know how water resistant this thing is. And it’s not even mine!

Anyway, I’ll do stuff later!

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: fill the glove w/ ballistic gel, add toothpicks for internal structures, and practic using magic to move the fingers

That might work… What’s ballistic gel?

It’ll probably be easier to get Mint to show me how a unicorn does it. She’s pretty darn good!

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: k, just remember the strings, Every Acid Dealer Gets Beat-up Eventually (lowest to highest) on standard tuning

I’ll try!

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: its mother russia by iorn maden. i'm verry fimiliar with it

Oh! Good one!

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: idk, use a glove filled with water

Well, that would let me flop around water-filled fingers with minimal control. And I could take the glove off and throw it at the audience for maximum awesome!

I’m sure Mint could show me how. She’s a unicorn that plays guitar.

Do You Still Have Thumbs?

Only when it’s funny, I’m afraid. Not very practical in day-to-day use.

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: its alot better played in real life (dont forget to up the tempo to 250 even though its still not nearly as fast as i play it)

I wish I could play by ear…

I may be able to decipher what you’ve given me, with a little time.

I’ve no doubt someone as talented as you could show me how! But I think you’d have some difficulty teaching me how to actually play it.
I’m a pony, no fingers.
But thanks for what you’ve already given me! I’ll be holding on to that!

diamondmint replied to your post: don’t you have a guitar?

I could show you Lyra. :3

I’m not in a particular hurry yet. But you’ll definitely be the one I go to when I’m ready! You’re the only pony I’m close friends with that plays guitar!

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: gladly, what clef?

Oh my Celestia! For real?!

I tend to play in G4 Treble and F3 Bass.

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: don't you have a guitar?

Marty gave me one, yes. But I don’t know how to play it. Haven’t quite worked out how to even hold it!

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: oh, and zoom club is farly easy, i feel like i could teach you over the internet

Since I can’t even play guitar, I don’t know about that.

But if you have any sheet music for one of these songs I’d love to play it on the lyre!

I wish I could play tabs…
