do your fingers get sore too?

[sunburst]

well today the tip of my fret index finger feels like a piece of glass or tiny splinter is in it lol .. anyways, thought it cool to tip this searched up youtube footage ..thought this cool for all skill level guitarists.. great tips go a long way.. breaks bad habits and assures proper efficient practicing.. gave this guy a thumbs up this morning, enjoy!

Skyla Burrell (one of my favorite blues-rock artists) has possibly the toughest fingertips I’ve ever seen:

Poor Skyla Burrell’s fingertips look like pain killers are needed for gangrene .. I been studying mostly theory at fretjam all day .. record day pouring rain glad it’s rain and not snow or we would have been buried! .. Anyway, yeah man, I am using my fingers for easy runs leaving out my index finger.. pretty interesting actually practicing and learning the difference between Natural / Harmonic / Melodic scales how to use them both minor major progressions.. Actually it seems a great lesson that correlates well with Brian’s most recent ep345 anyways, resting my little index finger today .. it feels too sore annoying to bother using today lol

My finger tips look similar after joining AM and increasing playing time…
The skin is so hard there that I have less feeling
But what can I do, guitar is more important 🙂

Israel I read you , in the beginning I had obvious callus and even blisters.. but my fingers are conditioned nowadays, that is being righty, my fingertips are harder on my fret fingers than my picking hand.. just too much bending lately and scaling sliding over wound strings.. I just wanted to remind others it is normal, but to also take heed , when the body talks ,, listen.. I kept playing when I first felt the pinching in my finger tip and kept playing anyway..soreness can be avoided by just taking a few days rest and perhaps learning to practice something more delicate /not full stretching or pressing hard vibratos which is what is demanded in blues soloing lol

okay have a good one.. going to study my DAW read up on it get into it more enjoy!

Tip 9 get that open D tuned acoustic and start playing slide to give the fingertips a rest. Simples🌞

I’m more concerned about my knuckles and arthritis (or something like that) than my fingertips. One of the things I like about flats beside the sound is they feel a lot better than rounds.
