Day 4 of 30 practicing my guitar

[@CaptainDaveThePirateLaureate]

I had two cut off the last few minutes. Apparently I had the football game playing in the background and the NFL didn't like it even with the sound off.

Rearrange your chair, camera & mic's to let you watch the game and video only you. Don't give the NFL a MOMENT of fan-dom or support!

I was wondering if you'd include mentions of finger-bruising! I had some built-in playing pals but most of those folks said, "No, I couldn't locate playing pals for a while and that hurt my progress." YES. So, you might start looking around from strummin' buddies.

No. Nylon strings are only for the low 3 strings. The top 3 string are the same braided 'metal'. And the nylon strings only SEEM softer at first - they not compressible strings of chewing gum. Just like fishing line - they CAN cut into yer flesh! And fingertips are balls, and I had side-of-fingertip/ball agony, I had other-side, I had "tippy-toe" bruising... and then length of finger-tip bruising - four 'areas'. And they all hurt/healed differently.

By the way, your audio setup is pretty darned good.

[@CaptainDaveThePirateLaureate]

I haven't had any visible bruising just general pain in the fingers.

@@CaptainDaveThePirateLaureate My over-practice indicator is that my callouses will have side-cracks around theri perimeter - very tiny. But a string can 'catch' under one and I need a little oomph to break away from it. Hubby's can be worse but, well, 40 years of playing, yes, well...
