Any of you use super glue on your fingers? I usually play on and off throughout the and still find my fingers hurting after a while, but I wanna keep going. Came across that on a guitar forum. Tried it and I was able to keep playing around for other couple hours.

There definitely coming in. I just really enjoy messing with the guitar and will randomly do finger exercises, stretches, etc and it can be hell on them. On top of practicing chords and songs. Literally I could be going shit and have to stop and play.

Nice, I am the same, although I rarely actually play anything, I just plink or strum away at what ever feels good.

I haven't been playing a lot the last while though, need to buy a new guitar as well.

Have a PRS Angelus acoustic electric and an Epiphone Dot. Guy in my neighborhood suggested changing out the PRS strings with Ernie Ball acoustic electric strings

When you are starting don't do what I did, a high action with metal strings, fingers were absolutely fucked at first, puts you off if anything.

Yea I find I can tolerate the strings on the PRS more than the Dots, though the Dot is easier to play. Both are gonna get new strings and I’m rewiring the Dot to 50’s wiring. Was very impressed with the Dot overall. The Alnico humbuckers sound good enough for me. I’m really not to where I would notice doing new pots and pups

You're already beyond me brother, my guitar has a hole in it.

Yea the cherry red. It’s actually the studio dot, so one tone and volume. No inlays on the fret board. Everything else the same as the regular Dot
I've long wanted a 335 dot. First time I walked into a music store and saw one with bright cherry with that binding. Man, what a beautiful guitar. Nothing wrong with the studio, just wasn't a thing in the mid 90s. I'll probably bring one home one day, but I find Fenders suit me better so I've ended up with a few of those instead.

Oh, and I'm in the early stages of putting together 2 different varieties of partscasters, because I'm dumb.

The Rocksmith game is fun, but I couldn’t see using it to really learn.

The fingertips on my left hand could survive a nuclear bomb at this point.

I've been working outside all day so fuck off with the "your hands are dirty, bro" comments.
