G string jams right underneath my index fingernail!

If you read my reply to Stumbo then you would have read that my fingernail can’t be cut any shorter.

Wear a thimble...or a condo...

Seal it with super duper gorrilla glue

Your technique is probably bad.

I should have known better than to respond to some one who just joined yesterday. Next time I will look more closely.

It was just a (poor) attempt at humor...sorry.

You must be plucking at the wrong angle, because it should just hit the pad on any finger.

Or nail length. Maybe. Do you notice your nails playing fingerstyle? I notice it there first, and cut my nails. Put clippers in your gig bag, or keep a knife or something around.
