Hi, I design DIY prosthetics & other gadgets, and play music as I relearn guitar with one less digit on my fretting hand. My designs are free and open-source, many hundreds of people have made their own Danger-Finger! www.dangercreations.com for more about finger prosthetics. By day I am VP of Engineering at Hulu, a US-based streaming service.
Fun fingerpick excerpt of “Gemini (Birthday song)” by Why?
Love this song, thanks Yoni. "It starts with you on a mattress in your parents old room, clipping your toenails into the room like the room will fade. you will move onto other rooms, and you will go to other places. and the wedding and the woman passed out in the driver's seat at the order board at white castle, we woke her up and she went round to the pickup window like she knew exactly where she was. and i wept with my face in your nightshirt, trying hard as hell to say 'until death separates us', loosening the skin your breastbone, i painted your nails in your sleep while i write all this down."

Lending all nine fingers to my first attempt at sir Paul, had to learn a couple new chords. I got a little too yodelly in there, but it was fun.

My take on Time by David Bowie from Aladdin Sane. With a dose of Tom Waits to suit a rainy day. In an attempt to get better at finger picking I’ve banned picks for a month- one week in.

Some highlights from about 20 minutes of playing around. Really basic setup of two shallow round concave glass pieces, water, mineral oil, alcohol, and water oil dyes. It is sitting on a 1x1ft LED ceiling panel with an iPhone mounted over it to capture video (and airplay to a wireless projector). It was overwhelming the camera so had a sheet of parchment paper under the glass. Should have used ...

This was my favorite warm-up riff for a long time, but I could never pull it off after losing my fretting index finger. Finally buckled down, and getting closer.

punk rock original, words by nick brookins, music by tweek (Nick, Jeremy, Dave) (c) 1997, Flint MI. Filmed at a Cyber Cafe (remember those?) when I still had all 10 fingers. I wrote it while sleeping in my car in an old parking lot in Flint, as I realized for the first time how critical music was to my sanity. An empty parking lot grand growing between the cracks a lonely man, maybe writing dow...
Improvised guitar solo looping over itself, missing finger, lo-fi Zoom recording
zhlédnutí 2,1KPřed 4 lety
Some solos are easier with one less finger in the way ;) Bored during a break from work-from-home I recorded this over zoom - Lo-Fi and a green screen to distract from any sloppy playing. It's based on a solo from "Car" by built to Spill, improvised with a looper pedal. My new favorite thing is writing solos that loop over themselves.

Knick's 3d printed prosthetic finger v3.5
This is an amazing thing you put out here, I was just wondering Is there an updated video, or hardware list? I have bought the materials, the links for set screws were expired so I did my best guess on what to get. The video moves too fast at points which makes it difficult to understand how to follow along. I've been excited to put this together but I'm unsure if I'm even stringing it right. Any tips you might have would be appreciated.

May I ask why you have to wear a whole other rig for this one finger? I mean why not adopt such stretch into the base of the finger itself, or use torsion springs that could fit in the joints, after finding the right tension? I’m genuinely asking because I want to surprise a friend with one of these. I’ve been going through some concepts, like the X-finger, Naked Prosthetics, etc. My friend has joked how he’d want a prosthetic finger in exposed metal, so he can look like a James Bond villain, and seeing as I have a home machine shop, I want to make one out of metal, I just can’t land on which concept(s).
That is amazing
