Topic: Fingertips hurting again

Weird.  I've been playing straight through, at least a little bit per day.  But owie. 

I blame the ants.  Plus, I'm sure Roger Guppy and Russell Harding have something to do with it.  I'm not sure what yet.  Or how.  But just because there's no reason doesn't mean I can't blame them.  And the ants.

Re: Fingertips hurting again

Maybe you've gone soft. As I read it, you have turned into a bald chick(non-dude)? That might have something to do with it. No, I'm sure of it, you said "owie" and that's the clincher. You're officially a girl. Maybe try to fight a bear or mountain lion on your next wilderness outing to help turn you back into our Zurf.

change your strings. Whenever I get that feeling I switch to a fresh set of elixirs...or the electric!!!

Re: Fingertips hurting again

Mine hurt every once in awhile after over doing it.  Just a fact of life

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Fingertips hurting again

Now, I was thinking that Baldguitarguy was the Dude moderator.  And he's bald.  So I couldn't say I was the bald moderator.  But I see where you're going.  So I will have to change that to Other Bald Moderator.

There.  Mountain lion wrestled.  In the form of my 11 year old who came home from school and being denied ice cream as a snack.  More fierce than a mountain lion, you know, if mountain lions stormed off to their rooms in a huff.

Hey Russ I said that we should not have cut the fingertips off that bald and bearded clay doll we were chanting over but you insisted so it is your fault lol.

Ill second "go to the electric"  heck a little chorus and some reverb, clean sounds mighty nice.

Re: Fingertips hurting again

Welcome back wise Zurfwalker!!!!!

My 8 year old tries to act like a mountain lion but it comes across more as an angry hamster.


My uncle used to tell me, to strengthen your fingertips jam your hand like a knife into a bag full of bbs. Tried it once and it hurt.
