Hi smash world! I'm GorditoBoy, and I am very good at the piano. I've been playing for about 10 years, and finally, I've come to a breaking point. I have a huge competition in a couple weeks, and I'm not prepared. I need some advise. Not on practicing, but on something more intense:






I need to break my finger in the easiest way possible. I'm out of options. This is a last resort. I'll love you forever if you tell me how to break a finger. Thank you very very much.

P.S: This is not a joking matter. Please give me some real advise.

If you want to get out of your piano rehersal, jam your fingers instead of breaking it. Jamming fingers can be easily done with a hammer or a door. Breaking your finger could potential cripple you for life if you hit the wrong bone.
On the other hand, this is a free country. You can simply refuse to go. That is your best option by far. Even if you are underage, it's not like your parents can pick you up bodily and carry you their. And even if they can, they can't force you to move your fingers.
If you are serious about not playing then don't play.
Trust me the worst that they can do is still better than a broken finger.

You can quite easily break your index metacarpal bone with your other hand.

Take 3-10x shots of liquor
wait 30 minutes.
grab your index with your whole left hand
Pull towards your left shoulder as quickly and as hard as you can.

Hesitation means alot of excess pain. If you do it correctly, the shock should dull the pain at least temporarily.

/serious answer.

Don't break your finger. If you **** up a joint it will never be the same for the rest of your life. Doing anything to mess with your hand region is a terrible idea. Honestly if you really wanted to get out of it, really really really, break your arm. No potential for life-long injuries. Just get someone to nail you full force in the arm with a baseball bat. A hammer or something would cause a lot of splintering of the bone, and that would be really bad.

If a hobby is stressful to the point that you'd rather break a bone than do it, perhaps you should consider quitting/taking a break?

But I'm a little drunk right now so maybe u shoudln't listen to me.

Breaking your finger because you're not prepared for a competition has got to be one of the dumbest ideas I've heard. Especially since you play piano, and that could make you incapable of continuing to play in the future. Considering you've kept at this for 10 years, that would probably suck.

That said, a few weeks is enough time to work something up if you just put in the shed time. What are you working on for this competition? Is is jazz or classical? I've been playing music for just shy of 20 years now, and been doing it professionally for 8-10. Hit me up with a PM or something, maybe I can help you out.

Either way though, if you absolutely can't do well at the competition just skip it before you do something that could very easily have life-long ramifications.

Welp, I came to a stunning revalation over a night of a non stop jam session with my band: I can do this. I was able to, in two hours, accomplish what I thought I couldn't. I got it done. So, breaking my finger is not an option. I swear to god that I was going to break my finger out of desperation and never being this ill prepared. Thanks so much for the advise and showing me how much of a fool I was.
