Leave a comment and let me know what you think. Thanks for watching! ????
I've left handed so I suppose this would be opposite thanks
So yeah I'm lefty
Playing without nails is great too!
Doesn't Lawson Rollins have a sharp pointed nail shape?
I can’t find any information on the thumb nail direction
This is a handy guide, but a little bit disingenuous to say "a round nail is wrong, and don't" There are going to be several styles/natural nail shape/ finger shapes that are more suitable to a rounded nail. I ramp P.I.M but round the A finger and it works great.
it's also worth talking about the position of your fingers. A dog nearly bit through my finger a few years back and that nail's never grown properly since, so I have to glue on a false nail. False nails tend to be quite thick and heavy and create a completely different tone unless you sand it down a few layers with a very fine paper.
Wow!
