Arash -> RE: Rasguaedo using thumb downstroke (Feb. 7 2010 5:09:17)

well, i think it is a question of practicing and adapting the way of playing to your finger anatomics. everything is possible. what i would suggest is that you stretch out the thumb (don't bend the thumb joints inwards, thats a mistake many beginners do, independent from the shape of the finger/nail etc.) not only that this is the correct way of playing with thumb, but in your case, that way your thumb also forms a very slight "U" (outwards) and somehow compensates the opposite curve of your nail. if you look at Moraito , he has a very long thumb nail and it is also a little bit curved at the end (this is however because of the length of the nail and not because of the problem you have), BUT the result is almost the same. i would have difficulties to play with such a nail, but he can. so it is a question of adapting. you can do it too. another possibility would be some kind of plastic artificial nail, glued, etc. you could ask Jason MCGuire about details
