Finger Violation

My acoustic guitar has made my fingers raw.  Ouch.  Must be something different about the strings...

  1. Try nylon strings (if you don't already have them). They're a little easier on your fingers when you first start to play. Also, try soaking your fingertips in witch hazel to build up calluses faster.

  2. Well, it's getting close to Halloween, so I suppose I could find a witch, but does she really have to be named "Hazel"? (You know, not only was that a horrible joke, but I'm certain I'm not the first to think of it...)

    I'll give it a try though I've never bought the stuff. Where do you get it? I'm assuming with hand lotions...

  3. You can get it at most drug stores. Walgreens or RiteAid should carry it.

  4. I'll have to remember that. Today is the big day. (First day of lessons) I'm betting my fingers are a bit raw again tonight.
