“Tramlines” on Day 91
This is a piece I have been adapting from a riff I tried out on my first “Play for Us” several weeks ago. I have called it Tramlines for reasons which will become apparent in the video. I can barely type at the moment! I have just done one loop round to keep it short you’ll be very pleased to know.

Thanks. I’m lucky I have my YouTube set up in the studio for recording.

I really enjoy your shares @Moonhare , as I get very different insights watching an already accomplished musician learn the guitar. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
I just thought I’d throw in what I learned about “tramline” finger syndrome. (Ya like that one? I just came up with that. Of course, I stole the metaphor directly from you just now.) Anyway, I use a nail file to take down the calluses and get rid of the grooves. One time, I used cuticle scissors to cut the thick callus so I could save time. That didn’t work as it took away too much of my callus and I was left with having to build my calluses up again. It wasn’t like starting from scratch, but it was too aggressive as my little fingies were very tender for the better part of a week. But when I use the file to get rid of the grooves as much as possible, I still have the hard pad underneath the skin, but I don’t have the really thick, dead skin the builds up around the groove and creates the “tramline” finger syndrome.

Hey there. So we’ve identified the syndrome so I guess that makes us honorary guitar doctors! I think what you say about the file makes sense although the scissors?😬😱Think I’ll have to raid my wife’s supplies then. Thanks though. You don’t really have to deal with this for keyboards !

No, keyboards are a little nicer to the old finger tips. 😅
