I think that artificial guitar caluses that you could peel off a sheet and stick on to your finger tips would be great. It would be ideal for beginners and for people who haven't played in a while.
I just picked up my guitar and started playing Hendrix and now my fingers hurt. with peel and stick
caluses, i could keep playing all night!

super glue works well. just dont touch anything 'til it drys, or switch to bass playing. |
|

or alternatively don't be such a wuss and just ignore the pain... |

I think they would be particularly useful for non-guitar playing men. They can inadvertantly show the girls their guitar calouses, and be able to impress the ones that are into guitar-playing dudes. |
|
| |
That is not a good idea. Apart from the obvious problems said non-guitarists would encounter when asked to play something, it would mean those who had spent years learning to play would lose their advantage.... |
|

If the only way listeners can tell a guitarist from a non-guitarist is the *calluses,* you've got bigger problems than bloody fingers. <g> |
|

Or with the fake calouses, you could put them on your ex's nose and make him think he's got a huge wart! (My ex is one of those pretty-boys who thinks he's so hot.) |
|
| |
Stevie Ray Vaughan used to glue his callouses back on when they fell off. |
|
| |
Beat your fingers with a hammer for a while and they'll go numb, enabling you to play for hours! |
|
| |
Real guitarmen don't need no artificial calluses. |
|
| |
Why stop at callouses? Have 'guitar string scar paint' and you can say, pointing at forearm : "look at that one, baby... that was one hot string..." etc. |
|
| |
Or pretend that you were playing with your teeth, by painting one across your cheek. |

Having just started to learn the guitar I fully sympathise with the original poster. |

BAKED. It's called liquid skin or new skin. That's one of it's uses, besides acting as a bandage. |
|
| |
That thing about Stevie Ray Vaughan is about the most disguesting thing I've heard in a long time. |

You're quite welcome. But that's nothing. Proust used to have his servants crush vermin as he watched and became aroused. |
