We have to worry about getting the right mikes, positioning them in the right place, getting the sound into and out of an amp without it making us sound like Corey Taylor with a sore throat, getting the orchestra to turn up on time....

...and we get a completely different class of groupie.

So much to worry about...so little time.

Best,

I use the tips of my fingers (my nails catch the strings sometimes) to pluck the strings. I never had a problem. It works fine for me. I do not believe I would do well with longer fingernails. My main hobby is old cars, especially this one:



I get so dirty fooling around with this 40 year old hunk of metal. My fingernails are usually dirty and beat up.

I often thought of starting accoustic but never had the balls to do so...]]> Guitar Players Discussion m07zm4n https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fingernail-care-question/#post-104716 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fingernail-care-question/#post-104702 Tue, 31 May 2005 17:53:53 +0000
Then I've heard stories of the lute-guys - 'with nails or without' in trying to achieve the definitive 'traditional' tone. Arguments this way and that. It's kinda funny until you think that lots of us spend loads of time worrying about string brands, types, gauges, tube types, speakers, effects brands, types, signal chains, this pickup or that, pick thicknesses, shapes, holding techniques, cross-picking, alternate, economy, sweep picking and...well, classical guitarists have it easy when you look at it that way, lol.]]> Guitar Players Discussion DemoEtc https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fingernail-care-question/#post-104702 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fingernail-care-question/#post-104684 Tue, 31 May 2005 16:25:56 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/fingernail-care-question/#post-104684
