However, if your fingers really hurt, and you MUST keep playing (for whatever reason) I do have a rather extreme solution.  I remember how frustrating it was to really want to play and not be able to finish what you&#8217;re working on simply because you feel like your fingers will fall off.   <\/p>\n<p>Again, this solution is extreme, but I promise it works.  I&#8217;ve done it.<\/p>\n<p>You need to get some crazy glue.  They sell it in a bottle that has a brush applicator.  If you are familiar with crazy glue then you know how difficult it is to get off your hands.  That&#8217;s why i&#8217;m emphasizing that this is an extreme solution.  But if you are desperate I promise this method will completely resolve your pain problems.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to apply the crazy glue:<\/p>\n<p>Brush a relatively thick amount on your fingertips and dry your fingers under a hairdryer (DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FINGERS TOGETHER UNTIL DRY!)  and you will feel less pain.  Not so fast though, you&#8217;re not finished yet!  Crazy glue is rather slippery on the strings and it will wear down and become powdery.  It also doesn&#8217;t completely eliminate the pain.  Hot glue actually works much better.  The problem is, hot glue doesn&#8217;t stick to your fingers and, more importantly, it&#8217;s hot!  Not to worry though, hot glue WILL stick to the crazy glue that you&#8217;ve already got on your fingers, and the crazy glue will also make it much less painful to apply (kind of like hot wax).  <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how you apply the hot glue:<\/p>\n<p>Please be careful!!  I suggest you do it near a sink so you can run it under water if they get a little too hot.  I would feel awful if you get burned.  It didn&#8217;t hurt me, but I&#8217;m the type of guy who&#8217;s crazy enough to be my own guinea pig.  <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Get an old magazine.  Apply the glue tip directly to the magazine and swirl it around while gently squeezing the trigger.  This cools the glue off a bit and makes it so that you don&#8217;t end up with a giant glob on your fingers.  Now just dip your finger into the circle for a second and make sure it completely covers the crazy glued part of your fingertip.  The idea is to get a relatively thin coat, if possible.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find that the hot glue will last, has unbelievable grip on the strings, and can actually be removed rather easy by peeling it off of the crazy glue.  <\/p>\n<p>Obviously, the downside to this method is that you&#8217;ll have a lot of trouble getting the crazy glue off.  <\/p>\n<p>So, I guess the question is, how bad does it hurt, and how bad do you need to keep practicing?  If it&#8217;s important, then this method will completely eliminate your pain.<\/p>\n<p>**note**  I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s possible that crazy glue could be harmful to your skin.  Obviously, I&#8217;m not a doctor.  Perhaps you should research the risks of allergies and whatnot before trying this method.<\/p>\n<p>**update &#8211; scratch most of what i said above.  Just take a hot glue stick (no gun)  and use a lighter to slightly melt the glue.  Then wipe a small, evenly spaced amount on your fingertips.  You might need to peel it off and reapply every now and then, but it&#8217;s a lot easier than all that nonsense above.  Again, do it near a sink in case you heat the glue up too much.<\/p>\n<p><strong>how to play guitar hurt<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>how to play guitar hurt Learn How to Play Hurt as performed by Johnny Cash (NIN Original Song) Want more?
