I've been practicing strumming a lot lately, and I must be doing it wrong or something. My nail keeps breaking! I don't keep them very long and have always thought that I had strong nails, since I can abuse them on a steel string guitar. Now I'm at the mercy of a little ukulele
It just chipped again at the right side corner of the nail, presumably from down-strumming. Should I be trying to make contact with the full face of the nail? I think I've been strumming with the edge.
How do you guys approach nail care? If there's anything I can do to make my nails stronger... :drool:
I'm not willing to get acrylic nails, though.
on a side note, what is your preferred thumb nail shape? I'm not getting much of a pure sound out of mine
Thanks,
Jon
