Welcome to /c/guitars! Let's show off our new guitar pics, ask questions about playing, theory, luthier-ship, and more!

No circle jerk posts, there are other places for that silliness, and they are wonderful. Not here.
There is no way I could play this. I guess I'll have to find alternatives or somehow get light speed reflexes.
Edit: Thanks for help. I found a playable tab for the song I am learning.
Ah, they have drunken AIs cranking out tablature now I see.
Hooray for technology!
Use your feet ya noob
Hell yeah
Move those notes to different strings and this is a basic minor bar with root on the A string:
4
5
6

Finger tap?
Sure it is
Who has 11 frets worth of fingerspread? This seems impossible.
It's not that hard. Did I mention I have 9 fingers on my fretting hand?
Steve Vai with his freaky enormous hands maybe
Many options here, actually (listed in order of insanity/difficulty):
you could simply play that G# on the first fret of the G string.
you could change the fingering to bring the notes closer together
you could tap that note
you could use an artificial harmonic to get that high G# from the first fret
This guy was a master at stuff like this and would have done #2 for sure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQVNLTPHaX0&pp=ygUadGVkIGdyZWVuZSByZWhhcm1vbml6YXRpb24%3D
It’s not a hammer-on 1-3?
Lindsey Buckingham can probably Travis pick it.
Change the fingering
Should be doable with artificial harmonics -- finger fret 1 with the left hand and use the right hand to pinch harmonic at fret 13 while you pluck normally using the rest of your fingers.
Lenny Breau used this sort of technique a bunch, he's worth checking out if you're not familiar!
I don't know how to play it but I will just say that Songster is an amazing app and I am happy I purchased the live long subscription.
