#mentioned that i had a western guitar with 15 year old steel strings that were so rusty they made me feel like my fingers were gonna rip

i finished practicing guitar and now I have a sharp pain inside my fingers when I press down on things lol

yeah that'll happen bud. the calluses will come eventually but they also disappear again REAL quick if you take a break of a few days. alas being really cool always demands a sacrifice

having played piano since i was 5 has permanently changed the anatomy of my hands too (i can spread my fingers wider than most people. freakishly so), and all the passionate drummers i knew (had crushes on) had blisters and calluses on their fingers as well. that's rocknroll baby
