this isn't supposed to happen anymore!

So i've been playing bass guitar for over a year and a half now, and this usually happens right after you start playing(especially fingerpickers) that you get blisters on your fingertips, and i've played almost every day since i started but now they're coming back, which actually shouldn't happen cuz its never happened before but they BURN!

oh buddy, you got a while yet. You'll get blisters for a long time. I play the piano and it took me probably 2-3 years until my fingers callused. Its just a tiny bit, but its just enough.

Are you playing any differently? Longer? New strings?

 

[DefragMyHead]

You got blisters on the piano? dude you are a wimp!

 

[Crysalis]

not blisters, calluses. I never got blisters, they just became raw. Trust me, if you practice like I do, you'd get the same.

If you play fast and hard I would say your fingers are going to be hitting other keys when moving your hands and that will make them sore....

My brother's been playing guitar for about 15 years now and he still gets blisters... He's alway beechin about blisters...

i never got them playing guitar just bass on my picking hand, these are actually old strings, maybe playing a bit faster than usual(trying to finish up metallica's seek and destroy) i guess that could be, it just seems a little unusual since i haven't had any for a year and a half(when i started playing)

Smear a little superglue on the tips of your fingers. This makes artificial callouses, and makes it a lot easier to play for extended periods of times.

wouldnt that burn more? i only have krazy glue

Sounds like you have finger herpes... Gj
