Probably an overasked question but...

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.

Cut it then.

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.

**DarknessXoXLight** · 12-10-2011, 02:07 AM

Lmfao can't say this has ever been a problem for me.

**DossarLX ODI** · 12-10-2011, 02:30 AM

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.

**sticklydude** · 12-10-2011, 02:35 AM

I constantly bite my nails so they're never 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

Emithith · 12-10-2011, 04:02 AM

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.

supermousie · 12-10-2011, 04:22 AM

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

Chronic nail biter here, never had a problem as such!

**CoolRun** · 12-10-2011, 05:03 AM

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

Monochrone · 12-10-2011, 10:01 AM

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.

**Cold Kitten** · 12-10-2011, 10:05 AM

Yeah, I bite my nails. Whoops.

**Elite Ninja** · 12-10-2011, 10:09 AM

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.
