Also how did you come to learn how to snap your fingers?
I was a child and had enough time to devote to learning this.
For me it’s my middle finger hitting the cushion below the thumb that makes the noise.
Press the pad of your thumb and the end of your middle finger together with some force. It helps to offset the finger to the left side of the thumb (looking down at the thumb). Hold your thumb still, and try to pull the tip of your middle finger down to your palm, until it overcomes friction and snaps against your palm at the base of your thumb.
I can only do it with ring finger. I can’t get any sound out if I use middle finger
Put your fingers together like so:
Then push your thumb to the right while pressing your middle finger down hard. Let your thumb slide out, releasing your middle finger, which will snap against your hand like this:
Your middle finger hitting your hand is what makes the snapping noise, so the harder your press your middle finger down, the louder the snap will be.
It’s impressive he can snap with a metal gauntlet, I wouldn’t think it’d give enough friction with the metal on metal.
The gauntlet can wipe out half the population instantly, and you think it’s unable to snap its fingers 😭
There’s a song called “Snap your fingers, snap your neck.”
There’s also
Snap ya fanguhs, do the step, you can do it all by yo self, lemme see ya do it
I feel like these are two entirely different processes.
Demon Hunter also did a pretty good cover.
I’ve taught my cat to come over when I snap my fingers. It started by just trying to get its attention…
Edit: typo.
Pushing your middle finger tightly into your thumb to build up pressure. Vary the pressure slightly and your middle finger will slip off your thumb, and due to the pressure built up, quickly slam into the base of your thumb and produce a loud sound.
Once you’re got the hang of that you can try it with other fingers. The ring finger works nicely as well.
You try to push your thumb and forefinger through each other. Eventually they slip.
I spent hours one afternoon as a kid trying to figure it out. After a few hours my right (dominant) hand was completely wrecked, but I was so frustrated I just switched to the left hand and kept trying. Eventually I got a passable snapping sound and ran to my mom sobbing with joy to demonstrate the saddest sounding snap. She noticed my hands were shaking and made me sit down and hold them on ice packs, lol.
I’m 29 now and still can’t snap with my dominant hand for shit but my left hand snap sounds decent.
