Do your fingernails ever get in the way when you're playing FFR? Because I play one handed and it makes me mad when I try to AAA something and fail because of them.

This^

A couple years back I permanently got rid of all my fake nails specifically because they got in the way of my one-hand playing. Especially with streams. And now I keep them cleanly trimmed all the time ^_^

I think the OP's just asking if you share his/her experience. Yes, that happens and it's annoying if I'm getting lazy, but it's all good once I cut my nails.

Absolutely, especially when it comes to jacks and trills. The nails scratch against the keys and it sucks.

My fingers slip and my timing can also be off if my nails are too long.

The fingers on my right hand always have a dece amount of nail-age on them (classical guitar, hype), and it tends to get in the way a lot.

I'd probably screw up a lot less on right handed shit if I trimmed my nails as short as on my left.

My nails haven't been a problem except they split the keys in half :(

I've only had my fingernail get in the way once.
RIPPED THE SUCKA CLEAN OFF.

J/K. I never have a problem with this.

I keep my nails short, but they don't really affect me if they grow out.

I actually find having more stamina when my nails have grown a bit but lose consistency when they become too long.

The only time I have ever noticed this is when I tried to play with fake nails on. Otherwise, I pick at (not bite!) my nails a lot, so they usually end up at a manageable length without me having to worry about them.

For some reason I do better with longer nails. Eventually I have to cut them off though and then I seem to get worse. I think I do better with it because of the fact that I dont have to use as much energy to hit the keys or something idk.

My nails are too hard to bite off. They're almost too hard to cut, so I need to take a bath to soften them before i can cut them. my aunt is a guitarist who picks with her real fingernails so my family has some crazy nail genes or something.
If I'm mashing I like having medium length nails because its "crisper" or something

biting nails is such a bad habit

Yeah I never understood nail biting, mine are too hard to bite at all as well. I cut them regularly though, I always have a nail clipper near with me at my computer.

I bite my nails.
Used to bite my toenails when I was 5, too. :C
Still haven't gotten out of the habit. It's faster to bite them off and it's a useful (not good for your teeth) habit.
