Stopping my fingers from having blisters

Sign in to disble this ad
Well I though this would be a good question to ask. I have been playing for many years now and I am experiencing a case of finger blistering when I play live. I am using ground wound strings and I am thinking it might be the reason. Oh. Yes blistering only happen's on my right hand , as I am right handed.

So, can anyone give me some tips. Have a joly good christmas and happy new year. Peace.

Play more. +1. I find even a few days lay off effects my fingers. Also constantly trying to play less aggressively. Hard to do when the the band really gets to rocking.

and if all this advice doesn't help, small amounts of super glue will do wonders.
