I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!

How many of your fingers are calloused? *

 

I just noticed I have callouses on every finger of my left hand. The biggest is my middle finger, next largest my ring finger, next my pinky. But the one I would have though would have the largest (index finger) is the smallest.

 

And hardly any on my right hand which seems odd since I play finger style and you would think they'd be like horses hoofs.

 

* calloused from playing bass... NOT due to Mary Palmer and her five daughters action

 

extra points: Anyone remember the song the thread title is taken from?

I've got some degree of callouses on all 4 fingers on my left hand, and on the index and middle or my right. The biggest is actually on my left pinky, since I use it to slide in to a lot of notes

 

 

Yes. Helter Skelter by The Beatles.

 

 

Double points if you can name the Beatle that said it.

I believe that it was either Paul or John. Not too sure. :p

I lean towards Paul, so it's probably George. Haha.

Actually, it was the only one you didn't pick, Ringo. Thanks for playing. We've got a lovely parting gift for you back stage. :D

Ah, I should've just said Stuart and been done with it. :p

I just took a 2 month break from the URB, and picked it up again. 30 minutes after, I formed a blister on my right hand's middle finger. I bit it open and kept playing..it get messy afterwards, but that was afterwards

I've got some pretty serious callouses, I'm re-building one, though, I burned my right hand index finger on a stage light, the blister was UNDER the callous, so the whole pad went bye-bye, now I've got that starting-over finger pain...

I turn up the volume so I don't have to dig in hard.

 

 

Completely different feel man. Dig into the strings, you can't halfass this, it's noticable

First and middle finger tips on my plucking hand are bullet-proof.
:D

All four fingers on my fretting hand are pretty well calloused, too.

 

Years ago, when I played guitar more often than Bass, the finger tips on my fretting hand were so calloused that I once cut about 1/8 of an inch into the tip of the index finger with a serrated knife and no blood came out.

 

I'm not entirely sure that was healthy :D

I used to have massive callouses on both hands when I played ProSteels. Now I use nickel rounds, and my fingertips are still calloused, but much softer in comparison.

I've got callous on my pointer middle and ring finger on my left, with a little on my pinky. My pointer and middle on my righ are getting there but the inside of my right thumb is killing me with a blister. I guess I'm getting there.

No pain-no gain.
