Never grew fingernails, actually I tried once when starting to play guitar, but as soon as I started playing, I remember they were grinded, cause I was using the nails in similar way I would play with a pick

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ May 30 2011, 10:14 AM)  I'll take a pic of my nails and post it here  Hehehe this is going to be a nasty thread - I can see it already  On the topic - I once tried to grow them but they were just too weak for fingerpicking and broke easily. I keep them ultra short for years now. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I do a fair bit of fingerpicking, but I use the tips of my fingers rather than the nails. However, I got a friend who plays with his fingernails quite a bit, and his nails on his right hand look like claws.
I always tend to try and keep my nails as short as possible on both hands, but especially the left, since they can be a hindrance to your fretting.

hahaha when I was at the classical conservatory my guitar teacher asked me to let my fingernails grow but I didn't do it. I used to paint my fingernails black at that time (
 yeah! I was very into the Gothic music) and I didn't want to have long & painted fingernails.. Nowadays I don't play too much with fingerpicking tehcnique, I use Hybrid Picking and I don't really need long fingernails for it... -------------------- My lessons

I cut my nails short now...
The sharp pointed thumb nail pick for shredding was a complete and utter fail! Next attempt, to use a drill, YEAH!
