2 hours of practice daily, plus doing a few gigs through the winter months . Then play for friends, and practice as well through the Spring, Summer ,Fall . Need to keep these fingers in shape Truss_rod.
I guess I have some kind of weird skin. I’ve always had trouble building up good calluses on my fingertips, and what little I do have goes away quickly if I don’t play enough.
So I try to play a bit every day (2 hours is not possible most days) and then weekends I play as much as I can. But, still, I played for over 4 hours yesterday and my fingertips look like I have never picked up a guitar.
