FINGER MOUNTABLE GUITAR STRING CONTACT DEVICE

A device is provided for snug mounting on the middle segment of the fourth finger of a guitar player for use in altering the normal vibration of a vibrating guitar string. The device can be rotated from a full storage position on the dorsal side of the finger to a full use position on the ventral side of the finger. Intermediate partial use positions between the full storage and full use positions are possible. The device includes a generally cylindrical string contact member having a longitudinally extending axis, the length of which varies according to the specific circumferential location on the surface thereof. The maximum axial length of the string contact member is such that when the device is positioned with the maximum length on the dorsal side of a finger, the finger is useable to perform virtually all of the normal guitar playing fingering movements.
