Guitar Screws
Does playing the guitar damage your fingers?
I want to learn to play the guitar, but people tell me that playing the guitar will make my fingertips as "hard as plastic" and that when people shake my hand, they'll notice it right away. People also say that guitar playing just really screws up your fingers because you have to keep pushing your fingers through the strings and everything. When I asked about the pick, they said my fingers will still be damaged.
Is this true? Will my fingers be hurt/damaged if I play the [acoustic] guitar? If not, will anything else detrimental happen?
I cannot imagine that if guitar playing was that hazardous, that we would have any guitar players...
The strings WILL cause callouses on your finger tips (which is a protective thing and completely natural.) Will people "notice right away"? Probably not.
Does it damage your fingers? Not any more than any other activity that uses the finger tips. As for the pick, you use that with the other hand, so it doesn't count.
The only detriments would be some very minor aches and pains as your hands get used to being in the awkward position required and the pushing on the strings. (Yes, that will hurt a bit at first, but the callouses will form to protect your finger tips from damage and will make it more comfortable to play.)
If you take up the guitar and decide that it is not for you, the callouses will eventually go away and your hands will be back to their 'pre guitar' state.
