I have a callous on my right thumb from tennis.

If I made a topic about it, no one would post.

And I would understand.

Is it?

You play the guitar a lot and your fingers get callouses.

Now replace "the guitar" with "tennis" and it's the same.

Yeah the callouses on my feet from tennis are like ten times worse than the one on my thumb.

I don't think my feet can feel anymore.

I have a callous on my right wrist from using keyboard/mouse 16 hours a day. I think that's something most of us can boast.

Except callouses on your fingers take an active part in your playing because someone with callouses is physically able to play better than someone without. It's a pretty common thing among players to consider you to have earned your callouses after constant playing.

I earned these callouses on the courts!

And without them, I couldn't win seventeen-setters, which is something I frequently do.

But do they help you swing better, or simply make it more tolerable to do so?


Callouses do not make you play guitar better. They just make it more tolerable to do so. Take it from someone who doesn't go through monthly "callous-forming" due to not playing for so long -.-

They do, though. The tougher fingers make your fretting easier to do - less force and pressure required for it. They don't automatically make you good or anything, but they do have an impact on your playing!

Help me swing better?

My swing achieved the state of perfection literally halfway through my first ever swing.

The callouses are just for style.

And seventeen setters.

But if it was already "easy" enough for him to do it, callouses couldn't make him better because he'd already crossed the threshold of "being able to do it."

Except even when practiced, there is a difference in sound between playing with and without callouses.

Subjective.

Aaand that's the point of separation on this discussion.

Yep it's opinion. Doesn't really change the fact that saying otherwise makes you sound really, really stupid.

I also have tennis callouses and would have understood.

Might not have understood why someone would feel the need to make a topic about callouses they received in places you typically receive callouses for doing a particular activity.

But I would have understood the callouses themselves.

It was more about the satisfaction of having played and improved than the callouses.
