calluses from playing guitar.? I am a massage therapist but I also play the guitar, but haven't played in a while. When I used to play A LOT I had pretty thick calluses on the fingers, problem is that now I am a massage therapist i have to be careful that I keep my hands\fingers smooth so I don't irritate my clients with rough fingertips. I also use lotion\oil all day in my profession so I already have extremely soft hands, which is my other problem, I don't want the calluses the peel. I know I NEED calluses, but does anyone have any ideas of how I can solve this problem?
