Just popping in to say "hi".
Haven't been around because I can't bear to think about guitar. I lost two fingernails on my right hand a while back.
It's taken forever for them to come back. Partly because I didn't remove them right away; they were half torn from the nail beds and I at first hoped to save them, later I knew it wasn't going to work, but I couldn't handle the idea of not having something to protect my fingers (I work in construction, which is hard enough on having decent nails, but to do the work I do with two soft fingers... ouch).
So my index is still 1/4" away from being useful enough to even give the flesh enough firmness to pluck a string (without nail contact). It's surprising how much support and firmness the nail gives the soft flesh of the fingertip; the flesh extends past the bone a fair bit and without the nail...
The good news is that I didn't scar the nail beds, so they're growing back with minimal rippling.
I just bought a keyboard. I figure I can use that to work on learning music and theory in general.
But just a warning (and saludos), I'll be back. ;-)
