'got Blisters On My Fingas!', Nursing your fingers |
. I want to practice every moment I can, but my finger tips aren't letting me. I have yet to bleed or develop any kind of visible sores on my finger tips, but they are definitely hurting as I type this out. Any kind of advice one could give to help recover the tips faster so I can get back to a fresh feeling practice session? Am I hurting myself more by playing when they hurt or am I just being a wimp? 
What i would do if it's really hurting take a 30 minute break and come back to the guitar,even if it's still a little sore just try to put 15min back into then take another break.If you start tearing the skin on your finger's you can put alittle bit of lotion on them to help heal faster.Also pending on the style of music you play try and go for a lighter gauge string that really helps.

QUOTE (JOhn @ Sep 3 2007, 07:36 AM)  i find it dumb when people ask for this kind of advice. Do you really believe that there is a special way to heal you finger tips? Answer the question if you can, if not it's better to keep quite and keep dumb comments to youself. If you get skin worn off on your fingertips just rest for a day if it feels uncomfortable, otherwise just keep playing. You'll develop "leather"-tips evetually. -------------------- My bands homepage

Hope this helps, Barry Particularly is you haven't washed your hands first - no knowing what you might catch  .Slightly more seriously - won't meths etc strip the natural oils from your skin? (Hope not as I've been painting the fence yesterday and today and have meths all over me.  )Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

It's the only way your man stays up on the surfboard after 14 points of stout - 12 and he'd fall off. Or as Christy might have it again, we drank some pints had a rest and then we drank some more .Now beauty tips - I can certainly advise on bad haircuts/styles - I've had plenty of those Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
