No, think instruments with real strings.

If you could find close up images of band members playing you could work it out.

They all use a capo?

Bassists/guitarists who play a conventional right-handed guitar left-handed?

Getting closer, but no cigar.

They all use finger picks?

Nope, nothing to do with picks.

If you can get a real close up of the instruments of certain of the guys in these bands you'll see what the answer is.

They all play with their fingers?

Bassists/guitarists who string their guitars upside down (lowest strings at bottom)?

I reckon you've got it there.It's certainly true of Andy McCluskey of OMD.

Yep! Not a very common thing, but one band member from each does (or did) that.

Sorry about the delay in replying, but work beckoned.

That was a bit of a struggle!

Hopefully this one will be a lot easier:

Three bands, one connection.

Blank_Frank · Post by **Blank_Frank** » Thu Aug 26, 2010 12:58 pm

OK, maybe not so easy. I'd ignore the middle photo - I think it's unlikely anyone will get that straight off - and concentrate on the connection between the other two. Then you might be able to work out who's in the middle one.

More clues later...

OK, I'm assuming that either no-one recognises the bands in the photos, or the question needs narrowing down a bit. Here are some clues about the people you should be concentrating on:

1 inspired an ice cream; 3 sounds like he should be selling them; 2 was the world's greatest guitarist, according to Hendrix, Clapton and Van Halen, except none of them ever actually said it.

Now...what's the connection?

Missing fingers?

Close enough...

Yep, guitarists from all three had parts of fingers missing:

Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead)
Phil Keaggy (Glass Harp)
Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath)
