Topic: Aaaaaahhh. Sore fingertips.

I have been busier than a one armed wallpaper hanger lately and by the time the kids are in bed, I'm gearing down to hit the sack myself.  That's usually my guitar time. 

So, last night I worked from home.  That means I didn't have my commute time to worry about.  My wife had the kids at a double feature, so I had the house to myself.  Awesome.  I didn't even eat dinner, but I did have a three course meal 12oz at a time.  Not only did I play and sing, I played and sang LOUDLY.  I stink at singing but I make up for it in volume.  It felt GREAT.  And this morning I've got a twinge in my fingers to remind me of the fun.  Feels good.

Re: Aaaaaahhh. Sore fingertips.

I do the same thing, Zurf.  i play and sing softly when the wife is here and really sing it out when i happen to be alone.  just the way we were programmed i guess.  And yeah, it does feel good

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

Re: Aaaaaahhh. Sore fingertips.

yeah Zurf, that twinge in your fingers after playing is a great feeling especially after a right good jam or even playing on your own and having fun.

I love to play at least 3 times a week even if it is just one song but mostly i play about 5 - 6 times aweek. But there has been occasions usually after a 4 day jam I will not play for a week or 8 days then when i pick it up OUCh, my fingers feel it after about half hour to 45 mins.

Good feeling

Awesome!! I love those private times where you're free to be yourself at full volume.
I'm happy to hear that you had one recently bud.
