Must be very uniqer guitar players?! I've used the sand paper files on my finger nails... and I've played guitar most of my life. If this isn't a joke- all I do is play my guitar more to toughen up the fingers. And, I've never tried playing guitar with my lips either. The most painful experience I ever had playing guitar with my lips was during an electric short! In a small group I used a "borrowed" 12 string electric guitar. It had a lose wire in it. This was many moons ago and we didn't have lots of money. I got too close to the metal microphone while singing and when my lips touched it I got quite a jolt. And, sand paper on the lips??? An extra 2 hours of practice of day would work better!!!!
