Yep, Nosferatu would be a good guitarist. BTW, music history trivia: fingernails or fingertips?. Or in other words, Aguado or Sor? Two men, two ways of playing the chords.

Sometimes "sausage fingers" are an obstacle, especially when playing a baroque guitar, which was smaller than nowadays' classic guitar (that of Torres, the so-called "Stradivari of the guitar"). But if the performer is good...



Some baroque guitars were artworks themselves:
