I guess I hadn't really been playing for quite some time as I nerdlinged up some editing crap. I had been playing quite a bit of bass for a while (unplugged with no back trax to get some parts hammered out). That unfortunately led to some kind of pinched nerve bullpuckey under my shoulder blade which has been driving me BONKERS for a couple weeks now.
 
Anyhoo... after all the time edits and migrating everything back into SONAR I went a little cray cray laying some test guit overdubs. There's a very minor chunk of flesh missing from my forefinger but that doesn't seem to be a problem. The blister is on my pinkie and is literally a perfect string blister. It's like slightly thicker than a low E string and as noted earlier looks cartoonishly like a frown.
 
I've been tempted to pull out a Sharpie and give ole frowny a couple googly eyes.
 
Just because I'm a doofus like that.

Ole "Pinkie Rollins" seems to be callousing up quite nicely as I brainball on some other stuff (including comping some guide guits from those sessions). Likely would not have translated well into intertube "selfie" silliness even when ripe anyway and ain't nobody got time for that.
 
This is actually kind of good. My other tootsies seem reasonably unscathed and appropriately leathery for further mayhem and the perfect string shaped frowny on my pinkie is gonna be a perfectly placed patch of leather for said mayhem (after mayhaps another day or so).
 
The pinkie being of course the wussiest of all fingers.
 
Which is why it must be punished relentlessly...

I tell you what sucks. A Band Aid on a fretting finger.

Indeed but then of course there was the man with the plastic fingertips...

Got some good "bed" editing/comping done today though. Essentially the tracks I mangled ole pinkie on worked out well. Just wanted something to rip out some bass on.

Oh my doogness... I love those performances.

the lot of 'em.

Hi,
 
Blisters?
 

Blister schmister.
I once sliced halfway through my fretting thumb with a razor blade.
Not on purpose.

You fret with your thumb?  
 
Wow.

Wow.

Some people do, apparently

Got a blister developing on finger #3 but it's too early to have a dig at yet...
 
I'm finding that, when playing (with my guitar) slides are effected the most, so I can't wait for the hard skin develops.
