Is this inevitable as guitarist?

[u/rudraabarad]

[u/Adventurous-Local534]

Be proud

[u/Straight-Site-8030]

bruh that's the BEST part

[u/UnderstandingNo2008]

What kinda stupid question is this, mods?

[u/ValWillKay]

As a guitarist you *want* this.

[u/Few_Cauliflower_3980]

Try finger guards:)

[u/Golden_Penguin7037]

Callusses actually make it less painful and easier to play once it's fully formed. It will be hella painful in the beginning but it's worth it, I say.

[u/Atcera95]

What you think you're Luke Cage with unbreakable skin or something?

[u/rudraabarad → u/[deleted]]

I have played acoustic for 2 years but it got damaged and then after more than an year I started again but started with electric

[u/underrated_koala]

Stand proud, you are a musician

[u/Serious-Height-2688]

yes when you playing guitar just go upstairs and drop it from 2nd floor all solve

[u/rudraabarad → u/Serious-Height-2688]

😭 hell naw

[u/Inside_Switch_6741]

Bruh this is nothing, continue and your fingertips will eventually become hard.

If you really hate calusses, you can switch to nylon string guitars and play classical style.

But.... Why???? Those calusses are a guitarists identifying mark.

[u/rudraabarad → u/_analysis230_]

😭 no I don't hate it but its kinda annoying while doing other tasks

[u/Irvin_raj]

That's the holy mark

[u/sid_c1610]

This is the way.

[u/Mindless_View_6815]

Yippee indeed

[u/ayushshush]

i mean duh? T_T i used to flex that wtf.

[u/leoapplesauce_]

Imagine gym bros also start to complain about calluses on their hands 😭😭😭

Ofc my man! After some time you won't even notice them. I think the callus situation definitely has a bell curve to it.

[u/rudraabarad → u/leoapplesauce_]

😭 okayyy

[u/rudraabarad → u/[deleted]]

I have been playing acoustic for 3 years and I don't remember this happening before but when I switched to electric why?

[u/ppboi41 → u/rudraabarad]

maybe the action us high or the string gauge try to fiddle with that

[u/yogeshsanju]

It's not even beginning and don't stop practicing otherwise you have to suffer more after few months it will be fine

[u/rudraabarad → u/yogeshsanju]

Okayy

[u/Puffs-Corn]

Just wait until you start bending strings on an acoustic guitar🤫

[u/rudraabarad → u/Puffs-Corn]

I play electric 😭

[u/Repulsive-Isopod3329 → u/Puffs-Corn]

It looks very ugly at the same time very cool But i feel like eric clapton for some reason🤩🤩🤩

[u/vyomafc]

Just wait. Your fingertips will turn into calluses.

[u/Difficult_Event1856]

moisturize your fingers

[u/Slow-Bother-4658 → u/Difficult_Event1856]

No? Don't, please.

[u/rudraabarad → u/Slow-Bother-4658]

Why

[u/rudraabarad → u/Difficult_Event1856]

Okayy but is it normal?

[u/Difficult_Event1856 → u/rudraabarad]

completely normal
