Rog.... that looks dead interesting but a little frightening.
It certainly confirms Nick's advice about filing them.

Well there you have it Ecca - and I didn't even know about the advice from this classical site, but I am flattered they agree with me !!! It really does work, but gently does it, keep them filed as short as you can until (after some months) they thicken up. As the man says on the site - DONT CUT THEM !!!

All the best,

Nick.

Did you watch the bloke playing Daytripper with his glue-on nails ?

I've only just started to play the Guitar again after a break of about 30 years. However I wonder how many of you have tried to improve your nails by taking Calcium Tablets ?
