I really do think it's more serious then i tought. Are you a software dev? I am reading lately alot about that profession and everyone says the same then you. Must also be very exhausting to keep up with. Well I'm that far that when i'm on some days off i don't even leave the house anymore...

I'm thinking about it for a long time now. Lately more seriously, maybe a subtle cut.

Even playing over 4 frets i would just use my middle finger for the 2 inner tones. For playing fast, clean position...
