Fingernails for guitarists

2010-05-17T03:47:00.000-07:00

Fingernails have been and will always be a major concern for the committed guitar player. Vihuelists, lutenists, and guitarists from as far back as the sixteenth century have been debating about the issue. Therefore, when a student brings up the issue, he is adding his impressions to this centenary arena. Many guitarists prefer the no-nails approach to guitar playing, still, they will find interesting material to read further down.
The often misused term nail approach generally refers to a right hand finger stroke that is actually a mixture of fingertip and fingernail. Using only nails tends to produce a thin, plastic sound, using only flesh produces an opaque sound, one that lacks in brilliance. The thickness of every individual's nails, as well as the width and curvature of nails, are all factors that have a direct influence on the sound quality produced by the guitarist.

It takes a few years to become experts with one's own nails. "The guitarist must eventually master his nail care or he will simply never be a master". This does not mean that one has to walk around polishing his nails (this is a typical guitar competition stupid attitude). What this means is that the guitarist must develop a conscience where he is very aware of how closely related nails and sound are. Nails are to the guitarist what vocal chords are to the singer. Still, the best comparison is the painter's brushes. That is how important fingernails are.

Advantages of Glass Nail Files

Another advantage to glass nail files is the effect they have on a person’s nails. Nail files made of steel typically cause the nail to chip or to crack because they are too rough on the nail. Glass nail files, on the other hand, help reduce the amount of chipping, splitting, and peeling when used on a regular basis.

Glass nail files are also easy to clean. It is virtually impossible to clean emery board nail files, as getting them wet can easily cause them to lose their rough quality and they cannot be used at all while they are still wet. Similarly, steel nail files are difficult to clean out and to sterilize properly. Glass nail files are easily cleaned simply by running them under a faucet. In addition, glass nail files can be sterilized with heat or by using ultraviolet or liquid light.

Although there are many advantages to using glass nail files, they are fragile. Therefore, care must be taken to avoid dropping them. In addition, they should be stored in a manner that does not place excessive stress on them, as this can also cause them to crack. For this reason, it is best to store glass nail files in special cases that are made for the purpose.

Manual Vs Electric Nail Buffers

2010-04-06T02:20:00.000-07:00

There are extra thick manual nail buffers that are designed to quickly reduce the thickness of your nail and smooth it. These rough surfaces should be used mainly for artificial, or acrylic, nails. The medium side of a buffer can be used for rebalancing preparation. The fine side is good for smoothing and surface refinement.

Another type of manual nail buffer is a thick, rectangular-like block that appears similar to Styrofoam. It is a clean white buffer on a foam block. It is made for firm control and refining. The white buffer block will remove surface scratches. It can also be used with nail buffing on artificial nails. The black side has a grit or coarseness of 360 and goes up to 1200 on the gray side. The black side will file away any roughness that is present on the nail plate surface; then the white side will smooth it even more. The gray side buffs the nail plate to a high shine.

Three-way buffers are similar to the padded buffers. They are three-way smoothers and shiners. You start with the coarsest side and work your way to the finest side. It provides your nails with a healthy gloss shine with no need for oil or buffing powder. Some buffers even come in extra thick versions of the three-way buffers. They refine the nail surface to a high gloss and a lasting shine.

Electric nail buffers usually encompass detachable buffers with varying rough or fine surfaces. High quality electric nail buffers with beautify and stimulate your nails. Buffing not only gives nails attractive shine, but will also stimulate blood circulation to the base of the nail and encourage healthy nail growth. They will also smooth out nail ridges, reduce the risk of your nail snagging on clothing, and prepares nails for a shinier and longer lasting manicure. Nail buffers can also polish the surface of your nails for a shiny and natural pink glow.

Electric nail buffers offer a more professional and even buffing of the nail. Electric buffers move at higher speeds than you can do manually; thus it will be quicker to buff your nails using this type of buffer. Manual nail buffers can give similar results comparable to the electric ones, but electric buffers offer the added benefits mentioned above. Manual nail buffers, however, are less expensive, but electric nail buffers should last longer as you will not have to replace them as often.
