Re: cracked head stock

I'm talking about the meat of your index finger.
Fret an F major and the first meaty part of your
index finger runs the line that is cracked.

I don't think we're talking about the same portion
of the guitar anatomy. I can't picture anyone's
index finger on any kind of F chord being anywhere
near the back of the headstock.


If you wrap your thumb over the top of the neck part of your index finger
will run up that groove. Bad form, but I get the point.
