xgsjx Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I was watching a bit of YouTube this morning & ended up watching some double thumb excersizes & was getting pretty quick (for a new technique), but now I've got a blister next to the quick. any tips on how to get rid of it? I'm enjoying the new technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Sorry mate. No tricks for that one. Had several over the years even to the point i broke skin and had blood over the bass from my index finger - ouch ! It did force me to learn how to play with my other idle fingers and now use all if need be although not as good. No laughing there please Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Super glue! Would Pritt Stick do? I'll try some micropore tape tomorrow if it's not sore then (just been playing some geetah & started hurting again ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) This explains a bit more & I'd watched this some time ago & forgot about it. Being a guitarist helps in the rhythm thing. Edited April 3, 2011 by xgsjx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get a callous soon enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
