Anyone else slowly wearing down their seat belt chopping on it while listening to bluegrass in the car? I actually put a pic in the car to play with on the seat belt. Am I the only one?

Re: The Seat Belt Chop
Yes.
(But I nearly put a hole in my right leg's pants leg when I was learning how to fingerpick.)

Yep, I’ve had issues....still do....got a nice wool coat for professional dress when going to work (corporate), and recently noticed a rough patch where I “ghost pick” along with tunes in the car.

No. My only problem is foot tapping on the accelerator. When a fast tempo song comes on its a scary ride to work.
No matter where I go, there I am...Unless I'm running a little late.
Re: The Seat Belt Chop
One friend of mine claims to play the mandolin while driving down the interstate on road trips to gigs.
Re: The Seat Belt Chop
No..............but I like the idea!!!

Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.
Re: The Seat Belt Chop
Maybe you should drive with both hands.
And later play with both hands.

Snowy roads this morning so I couldn't chop. Hopefully roads will be clear this afternoon.
Re: The Seat Belt Chop
No but I bet the person in the car next to you at a stop light is wondering what the heck you are doing.

Re: The Seat Belt Chop
Buy a self driving Tesla and then you can actually play your mandolin in the car as you cruise along.
