Review on ๐ŸŽธ Rock-Tips Liquid Callus Formula for Guitar, Bass, and Stringed Instruments - 4.0 mL by Sopheak Kupke

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Yes, it works in my situation

First I have to explain: I had surgery on my hand that prevented me from playing guitar for over eight years. It's not that I was really good before, but I'm trying to get back to where I was. I have about two or three weeks and had to relearn every major chord from scratch. And I really want to play Wish You Were Here again. So two days ago I started working on a solo with tilts, breaks, slides and so on. On an acoustic guitar with heavy strings. My fingertips have been killing me several hours a day practicing chords, but now I'm starting to peel the flesh off my fingertips. I ordered this thing three days ago when I started soloing and received it today - just in time. Obviously this stuff won't (magically) fix my injured fingers. They still hurt to play, a lot! However, I've dreamed of playing some of my favorite songs for years. The pain gets to a point where it's difficult to hold a strong chord, but I know from years past that if I cut or scrape my fingers, I can't play at all. Marvelous. With this expensive solution of superglue and nail polish, I can keep practicing my solo torturously. Yes, once or twice during the solo a layer of stone spikes was cracked and torn, but I was able to apply another layer and go through it again without bleeding. It might seem expensive, but I'd pay $12 a night to get my 2 hours of grueling workouts (otherwise I'd have to forgo it). I feel like this bottle will help me get through many nights practicing things I would otherwise miss. I'll order another bottle before it runs out if my fingers don't have hard blisters by then. In short, when your fingers hurt all day before you start last night's workout. You will continue to hurt when you play the guitar. Sorry, this product will not put you out of your misery. This will help you a little in this situation. If you want to practice bending, pulling, etc. on aching fingers, this material seems to have saved me from peeling off layers of skin. let me continue Update: Day 2 I play even more and my fingers hurt less. The pain caused by bruising also subsides over time. Dries fast. I don't regret my purchase, it seems my phone's touchscreen is less responsive. I hope this long review is helpful.
