Quick Question

[Lisa]

The bandages that you've photographed may be athletic tape wrapped around the hand and wrist--many consecutive hours of playing guitar per day (including practice hours) may cause the hand and wrists to bang against the guitar from leaning into and supporting the instrument while playing it. This would hurt and injure or bruise a guitarist. Maybe there's gauze under the athletic tape wraps to prevent the athletic tape from sticking when it's removed.

I would think that Glenn tapes his hand and wrists with athletic tape to prevent injury. The reinforcing tape could also protect him from arthritis.

(Athletic tape is an extra wide adhesive-type tape with less glue on the sticky side. It can be used over Ace bandages, gauze, other "take the stick out of peeling it off" stuff like socks or warm-ups, and is usually applied loosely wrapped (which is several degrees less taut than an Ace wrap) in a few layers to immobilize or reinforce an area that does an athletic task. It is not for close wrapping due to maintaining adequate circulation! Athletic tape is not an injury treatment type of adhesive tape, and you can find it in stores!)
**Note: I wrote the paragraph as an explanation only--please do not try to guess at how to use athletic tape, because this product's use and application should be supervised by an experienced and knowledgeable person.
