Fingernail Maintenance For Fingerstyle Guitar

[TGNeil]

Hi Paul,

No bulletin board but I try to address many of the things that come up on the Forum on Friday's Weekly Update. These are videos that go up every (well, most) weeks all year. A week or two ago I talked about my latest fingernail problems.

Thanks,

Neil

The first time (which was recently) I had the acrylics fitted I didn't do too much playing as I was very aware of them.
I shaped them constantly but never got great results but it did give me a feel for them.
On this occasion it was more about wearing them until I wasn't conscious of them, if you know what I mean.

This time my second, I am having a little more success with the shape and length although still plenty of room
to get things right on all fingers.

It's getting the shape so the nail doesn't catch on the sting needs more experimenting too.

I think I did a lesson on tone some time back for TG

I had a look for the lesson Doug Young mentioned and came across it along with another forum topic started by Michelle about hybrid guitars.

Hybrid/crossover nylon string guitars - any you'd like to rave about?

Thanks
