For us who are married, does the ring bother you when playing?

[duhvoodooman]

Maybe you guys would suddenly sound 10 times better if you took it off!!

Lemme guess....because I have to stop playing to remove it? :rotflmao:

Yeah, that's what all the chicks say. :master::bravo:

OH, the RING...

I say the drunker you get the better I sound. (Wasn't that the title of a Joe Walsh album?)

I don't wear a ring. I can't tolerate jewelery either. I also used to work around high voltages. And electricity will arc across a long way for a good conductor(gold) where it wont for just your finger.

I never try to pick up women or anything. I always mention Im married if theres any question.

Cant even wear a watch, and I dont know how people wear glasses. I guess someday Ill find out.

my rings never bother me... i only take them off when it's winter; my fingers shrink, and if there's water/soap involved i'm apt to lose them... ie: when washing katie [my dog] or something...

I am used to it by now (better be!), but there are times when the wedding ring on my left hand gets in the way when playing the geetar. Has anyone else noticed this? If I ever start taking off when playing, I'd probably forget it somewhere and maybe then - marriage over - no more ring! :rotflmao:

Do what I do. Buy a nice gold chain and hang it around your neck....

Works for me & mine...

I have no problem playing with my ring on. I wondered about it myself when I first got married, but figured if Jimi, EVH and SRV could play like they did with rings on (and Jimi and SRV wore BIG rings), I'd just be a big baby if I whined about a simple wedding band being in my way.

I don't choke the neck much so I don't even think my ring even touches my guitar neck very often.

I think it probably bothered me more typing than playing guitar until I got used to it being there. Now I don't even think about it unless I'm doing something like welding or working inside an amp or something. Other than that, it never comes off.

Cheers

Doesn't bother me at all. The ring has put a permanent dent in the side of my pinky though...

 

[Plank_Spanker]

I wear mine and it doesn't bother me a bit.

Joe's second album was titled:
"The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get".

I have that one. :dude:

 

[tot_Ou_tard]

I take mine off to work out & to sleep. If it's the weekend, I'll only put it on when I go out. I've never noticed whether it is on or off when I play.

For the first 5 or 6 years of my marriage, I didn't have a ring because we wanted to save money. I've been married 25 years.

In Greece, you wear the ring (oh, excuse me ladies, I meant The Ring ) on your right hand if you're married. You wear it on your left if you are just engaged. You slip it carelessly in your pocket or wallet when the sexy barwoman approaches to take your order.

I believe the above makes the whole issue spectacularly simple.

Same here in Germany. I used to take off the engagement ring, which I wore on the left hand, when playing guitar.

Mine doesn't bother me.
Its a good thing it doesn't because I can't get it off any more!

I wear mine all the time and it doesn't bother me. My wristwatch is another matter, though...

 

[Gil Janus]

It doesn't bother me. It's been on my finger since 1984 - it would have to be cut off now, the joints on my fingers have gotten fatter over the years.

My ring bothers me when she tells me to turn it down.
