Members Infinite_Jest Posted June 9, 2006 Members Share Posted June 9, 2006 So if you're playing with correct technique exactly where should the calluses form? Mine are kind of on the inside corners of my fingertips, not centered on the tips but more towards the body of the guitar. That'd mean my fingers are mostly slanted as I play.

Members Fatbaby Posted June 9, 2006 Members Share Posted June 9, 2006 With my palm facing me and pointing upwards mine are: Index; 11-12 o'clock, middle; 12, ring; 12-1, little; 12-1-2. does that make sense? depends on what style you play really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jasn_Vox Posted June 9, 2006 Members Share Posted June 9, 2006 how can you tell where your calluses are? As far as I can tell mine are covering the entire finger tip. I would imagine playing straight on would be a better practice to have, seems as though it would give you better contact/strength for each note. Personally i have never payed attention to this, but I do play with the center of my finger tips. However my hand is slanted back naturally due to the way my arm extends to the neck... which is more exadurated on lower frets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Little Dreamer Posted June 9, 2006 Members Share Posted June 9, 2006 If I hold my palm facing me, mine are all at about 1 o'clock. My fingertips are flat and sloping in that direction My pinky is the only one that's round on the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted June 10, 2006 Members Share Posted June 10, 2006 Well how are people (typers?) supposed to take youseriously?I used to get SRV grade callouses but lately with theexception of my pinky, I only get a slight toughening atthe fingertips. They tenderize after a few days of idle-ness but return after a couple days of use.The pinky has a real rough spot on the outer edge ofthe tip.Scuse me I gotta go Encarta callousesEDIT:Yeah, SIC .Did you know you can get callouses on EBAY ?
