I've been studying classical guitar for a few years now and the typical classical guitarist does exactly that - you keep the left-hand nails short, so as not to interfere with the strings and make them buzz, and you keep the right-hand ones long, filed very smooth (you can use fine sandpaper to make them ultra-smooth) so get the right tone on the strings as you play them. > I noticed in PWWAM that Joni's nails are all > long (and lovely).

My problem is that my nails keep breaking so I can't keep them all that long anyway. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your ad for free now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
