Playing Guitar With Acrylic Nails

This is why my girlfriend has to go to the nail salon almost.

Playing guitar with acrylic nails. Acrylic nails completely solve that problem. Having great nails all the time can really improve your guitar playing. It is a well-known fact that naturally grown fingernails are not durable enough to withstand the rigors of plucking the steel strings of an acoustic guitar for hours on end.

Great for nail emergencies on a problem finger or for permanent use. Tiptonic Finger Picks add a minimum of 0050 127 mm or slightly less than 116 past the end of your nail. If you are just starting out you might want to round your fingernails to strum a classical guitar.

Part of the reason picks are in decline is that more and more guitarists are moving to either playing with their natural nails or using acrylic nails. First its a pain to take them on and off. Im not a huge fan of fake nails for a couple of reasons.

Safe to use every day. I play guitar on and off myself but not as of lately because Im keeping my nails a little on the long side. Thus if you want the Finger Picks the exact same length as your nails when you were playing with nails only then you should trim the nail very slightly.

You get a real pop feel when you pull up with an acrylic nail. Playing with Acrylic Nails is the only way to go if you are a serious finger picker. Great for classical guitarists and are durable enough for steel string and flamenco players.

Im pretty set on trying the fake nails I used to play acoustic fingerstyle without nails but now that I have them Id never go back. They are extremely durable. Make sure the nails on your fretting hand are at a length that allows you to depress the strings properly.
