That's interesting! But can it damage your guitar?

Yes. Eric had a guitar with pronounced grain on the face due to percussive use: he then used it like a washboard. Good (great) guitarist - wonderful human being who I am proud to have known

As in - he walked with a pronounced limp. L-I-M-P pronounced 'limp'?

Still my favourite guitar book - 'Acoustic Guitar Bible'
