His hands were definitely made to play guitar. Look at his long fingers!

"I took a few piano lessons, when I was real young. My teacher, man, she was always telling me ‘what beautiful hands you have’ and all this stuff. Man, I was scared of her; I don't know why. ⁠She kept telling me, 'You oughta study,' and everything, and the last thing I said to her, I said, 'The reason I don't wanna do this is because I'm never gonna need it for the rest of my life. I'll never need this damn music - take it and keep it.' ⁠I left, and she died before I could get back and apologize to her. I always regretted that really bad - she was a good woman. Really good to me, and patient. When I'd get a weird-on or have a tantrum, she'd just sit there, you know, and let it run out and then try to get me to play something.” Duane Allman
