I have been studying with a classical guitar teacher, and playing in the classical style means you have to grow some fingernails on your right hand. This is a new experience for me since I have kept my fingernails very short since I was quite young.
I tore my thumbnail about 2 weeks ago, and it is very slow growing back. I am thinking I may have to resort to clear nail polish to keep this from happening.
Does anybody else here play fingerstyle picking using their fingernails? Any suggestions on how to not have them crack, split, and otherwise get torn up?
As a guy, I have to admit that it feels kind of weird to have nails... even if it's only on my right hand. Ya gotta make some sacrifices for your art.
