  • Fingernails!

    Posted by Rob S on April 5, 2021 at 10:52 pm

    My small win is that I’m growing my fingernails for the first time in…ever. I’ve had a bad habit of biting/picking my fingernails, but I’ve been growing them out since joining TAC in Feb. Not quite where I need them to be to fingerpick with them yet, but I am having to learn how to type with fingernails. Feels very different. 🙂

    Cool stuff.
    You don’t have to wait for them to grow in, you can start finger picking with the flesh of your fingers too. Fingernails do provide a crisper tone though.

      Yeah, that’s how I’ve been fingerpicking for years. Tony just inspired me to grow out my own “picks”. 🙂

    So nice to see someone else who is trying to do the same thing! I’ve been trying for 3 months now and just have enough on each finger to “pick” slowly. I need to be patient to let them grow longer so I can gain speed. ⌚
