I always take off all of my jewelry except my wedding ring. I agree that watches and bracelets get in the way.

Hi Kate,
Have not seen you in a while. Nice to see you on the forum. Lots of changes at Houston North. I am sure you heard.
Regarding rings and watches I don't wear them when I play, I think it throws me off and and I need all the help I can get.

I only wear a watch - jewellery-wise. It is a RIpCurl waterproof surf watch and thus a little bulky and heavy, as women's watches go. I generally wear it while I'm playing and it doesn't get in the way. However, I often notice that it gets tighter as I play, especially if I'm practicing barre chords for a while. So sometimes I take it off.

I wear my wedding ring and watch if it's on, most of the time it isn't. Neither seem to bother me.

Wedding ring on fretting hand (no problems) and my mother's old sterling silver 'gecko' ring that she got in Mexico many years ago that I wear on my right pinky. It doesn't bother me because I usually use my pinky to anchor my hand to the top - I know, probably bad form...

I don't ear rings, But I do wear a watch with never a problem. When my hair was long, I had a few problems.....lol
