He wears gloves because he's got some neurological disorder that gives him tremors. Apparently the gloves help! edit - everyone else beat me to it lol Edited June 7, 2021 by Sarah5string 1 Quote
Waddo Soqable Posted June 7, 2021 Author Posted June 7, 2021 Weird that just wearing a light glove can help with a neuro based issue, but it obviously works for him, that's the main thing ! Quote

PaulThePlug Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) In a post he says something like that when initialy touching contact to something with his left had he gets a shock type jolt... with a glove there is a constant 'touch' to the fingers that aleviates the repetative touch feeling of playing. (didnt see the vid posted above...) Edited June 7, 2021 by PaulThePlug Quote

Aalin Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 I've already bought something like this from Thomann in case I had a blister, and it doesn't work because it doesn't slip on the fretboard. Only Scott's gloves work well and allow slippage. Quote
