Playing hand worries
Sign in to disble this ad
I recently had a blister on my right hand (playing hand), middle finger. Its gone now and i've got the usual rough, uneven skin. Can this affect the tone of notes plucked with this finger? It seems to be making the notes sound thinner and more metallic? Any thoughts on this.....I'm worried I'm developing a bad habit

Can anyone confirm this for us? Although the answer seems to point to the skin rather than a technique issue.

Sounds like a callus - that's a good thing.
