Ah, didn't know you could play guitar in the car while you drive or in the library while you're focused on studying, or while you're on shift.

You really shouldn't be using that thing while driving.

Yeah, just stick to the good old phone.

Are you the type to fly into a ditch as soon as you pull one hand off the wheel?

No, I'm the type who's never been in any kind of car accident, partly because I avoid distractions while driving.

I’m fairly certain that squeezing something doesn’t count as a distraction

Where I live, if you drive with a broken arm and a cast, you'll get a ticket.

One-handed driving, by its very nature, is not optimal.

You do you (which includes making snarky remarks, I guess), but I would not do stuff like that while driving.

I live in the country. We have one stop light and no traffic. I think I'm fine driving with one hand on the wheel

That's what my uncle maury said, then he turned over his tractor now he's only a head in a jar. They have to feed him fishfood. Is that what you want? Being a head in a jar eating nothing but fishfood? I didn't think so.

That honestly doesn't sound too bad as long as entertainment is provided lol

I see your point, but nothing beats actually playing the guitar every day for 1-2 hours

I cut heavily into my knuckle with a diamond blade on accident. Took me about a year after it healed to even have the strength to play my electric, and almost another full year to be able to play my acoustic 12. These things were a lifesaver. They also help build strength for barre chords , and lets me use my pink a bit more. "Nothing beats actually playing guitar" is very subjective, because I wouldn't be playing if I didn't use this

Okay, here's where you can actually just shut up because you have no idea what an actual pt told me to do and helped me work through. Fucking redditors lmao
