I played the guitar drunk and now my index finger's nail is falling off. I think I'm going to have to call off work tomorrow because I can't even close my hand. I just wish I was fucking dead. I've been drinking for 6 hours and it doesn't numb the pain. I can't even shower because my hand hurts too much.
This is why I stopped playing string instruments. I already have caluses from lifting, I don't need em on my fingertips too.

>>85562865how would playing guitar do that to your fingers? post a picture of the bloody guitar
>>85562887Knowing that this happened while playing guitar provides very helpful context. The image shows raw, bleeding areas with dark, granular flecks across the knuckles and fingers.What This Likely IsBased on the visual appearance and the activity, this injury is highly consistent with a few possibilities:Friction Burns or Severe Abrasions: Heavy, aggressive strumming or striking the hand repeatedly against the guitar strings, hardware, or body can rapidly strip away layers of skin.Burst Friction Blisters: Intense pressure and rubbing against the strings can cause blood blisters to form and immediately tear open during a session.Lacerations from String Ends: Unclipped or sharp metal guitar string ends can slice across the skin during fast hand movements.Note: The dark flecks resemble dried blood crusting or small pieces of debris, but if he was playing an electric guitar, it could also be metal dust/shaving residue from old strings or hardware friction.How to Care For It Right NowBecause the skin is broken and actively bleeding, immediate first aid is important to prevent infection:Stop Bleeding and Wash: Apply gentle, direct pressure with a clean cloth until the bleeding stops. Wash the hand carefully with mild soap and cool water to rinse out the dark flecks. Avoid using rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, as they damage healing tissue.Apply Protection: Apply a generous layer of an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment or petroleum jelly to keep the raw skin hydrated.Bandage Loosely: Cover the open areas with sterile, non-stick gauze pads and secure them loosely. Keeping it covered prevents dirt and bacteria from entering the open wounds Take a Break: He must absolutely stop playing the guitar until the skin fully closes and heals to avoid severe infection or deeper tissue damage.
>>85562873Lifting fucking sucks. I just hit 72.5 pounds on my curls last week and split my hand between the pinky and ring finger. I don't know why I bother, none of this matters.>>85562883Knuckle strumming produces a better sound.
>>85562895>Knuckle strumming produces a better sound.kek no it doesn't in almost any circumstance, what were you attempting to play?>t. former professional musicfag
>I'm a sad rockstar please give me pussykek
grow some balls faggot, stop drinking so much and start changing your life habits. Stop choosing to be such a sad fuck and dominate your anxieties. Fucking pussy
Knuckle strumming? Your retardation knows no bounds
>>85562865i have never ever had my fingers or hands bleed in the 13 years i've been playing guitar, so either you're full of shit or extremely retarded
>>85562865>not using a pick for aggressive strummingWhat were you thinking?
>>85562891Pic rel>>85562900Starvation by The Golden Dawn>>85562921I wasn't >>85562913>>85562919I am a dumb retard
>>85562934>posts the blood-splattered geetar as proofWell I'll be damned, OP is indeed retarded keklearn to play with proper right handed technique, even if you have to relearn old shit. nothing beats solid tekkers
OP was obviously on drugs that both numb pain and thin blood
all I see is "give me attention because I'm a sad retard and I don't know how to make myself interesting"
How the fuck do you nearly amputate yourself on a guitar? What's wrong with you? Go to urgent care you dumbass
>>85562967Isn't OP always retarded?>>85562976Yes?>>85562978ER for this? A few bandaids will work fine.
Ngl I kinda relate to how OP may have been feeling. When the heart is broken or the loneliness of inceldom drives someone to rage and despair, this sorta thing happens. It's why BPD males cut themselves. I personally could never cut myself, as a BPD male, but I do skateboard and deliberately hurt myself on it when I am upset.
>>85562865Hang yourself instead fag
