Blisters on hands from practicing

Postby wittyusername » Dec 13th, '11, 07:44



I have been practicing one hand riffling and bridging, i now have blisters/no skin on the inside of my index finger :shock:
has anyone else had blisters from practicing too much?
I have small hands so maybe this make things worse, i don't know.

Also, this maybe a weird question, but if you're right handed would you do this with your right hand?
I'm right handed and i do all my one handed stuff with my left hand (i only noticed this today because I'm a moron)

Oddly enough I also do one handed cuts with my left hand, despite being right-handed

Blisters from practising? Now that is impressive!

Are you watching closely? Then I'll begin...

CArl if you get blisters from any other type of 'shuffles' you are either doing it wrong or far too fast!

Got them when I was learning Hot Shot Cut. Well worth it though.

I suppose it's the same as playing chords left handed when you have a right handed guitar? strange though.

I'll have to try that next, when the skin grows back... or i get plasters.


Also, if i had blisters on my hands from ham shanking- i'd be more worried about the state of down there! :lol:
