My silliest move to date

In actuality I guess you could call it my stupidest move guitar wise in a LONG time.  Yesterday after doing a bathroom repair, I caught myself picking at the tip of my index finger with my thumbnail.  After a couple of seconds I thought "OH no your gonna peal off the callous on your finger.  Well long story short I stopped myself just in time to save MOST of the Callous well the part that I don't really use much.  So now I am re-living the painful past of re-building callous on my index finger. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr  I BETTER remember this because "Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.  Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Re: My silliest move to date

Once in awhile mine get where they are peeling off a little.  I try to wait until they are mostly off until I pick it off.  Its hard not to pick at them.

Re: My silliest move to date

My callouses fall off every fall. I can't do anything to stop it. I molt.

Re: My silliest move to date

I've never really had callouses...  I mean they got a little tougher but no real callouses....  Maybe it's because I play about 80% in barre and that eases the pressure on my finger tips.


If your brain is part of the process, you're missing it. You should play like a drowning man, struggling to reach shore. If you can trap that feeling, then you have something.
         Peace of mind. That's my piece of mind...
