After reading this thread, I've just cut my thumbnail right off. Keeping my other nails. I'm going to work on building up a callous on my thumb like solidwalnut has done.
I'm getting into the rockabilly/ Travis Picking thing, and want to be able to do the bass with just my thumb so I'm not lost without a thumbpick. And also for those Wes Montgomery style octaves too. It'll be worth it once the callous develops.
Is it going to hurt and peel and all that sort of stuff, solidwalnut?
