My callouses are right on the finger tips…. seems the index finger is the worst. This is different than years ago when my callouses were more on the pads, but Tony’s instruction is really helping me refine my technique. ( it’s probably why I enjoy playing so much more now !) The only problems I have with pull off are on the B and high E strings, since they aren’t wound. I’m trying to to rotate that index finger a bit so it flicks as I pull off rather than catch the callous and “pluck”. The other problem is the shape of my finger tips…. the tip of my finger naturally is LOWER than the fingernail, so I have to be careful to keep the nails as short as possible, or I’ll catch that on the pull off / roll off.
