Okay, as some of you know, I taught myself Bass a couple years back and have been playing with a band until recently. I still play a couple times a week with a small group, and I'm always getting better, but I don't play enough to develop callouses on my fingers (maybe I should?!).
Well, I decided to teach myself guitar so i can do things like lead my family in Christmas carols and worship songs, and I was wondering if there are any tips on toughening the fingertips. I have been practicing 40 minutes a day or so for the past four weeks, but it's still very hard to get good, crisp cords because I don't have good callouses yet.
Are there any hints out there to speed the process? I've thought about applying a drop of Super Glue to each tip to harden the skin, but I think it might actually retard the callous building process in my fingers, and I want to avoid that.
Thanks in advance,
Curt
