#fingerstyleguitar #guitartips #nailcare *not affiliated with any brands mentioned in video This video is a detailed tutorial of how I have been strengthening/reinforcing my nails for fingerstyle guitar. The first part of the video is the detailed step by step process and the 2nd part is a FAQ where I give more general tips and answer common questions I got on my youtube 'short' video I posted about this a few years ago. The method shown in the video is a pretty typical one that's used in the flamenco guitar community, though it can be used for any style doesn't have to just be flamenco. I use it for my steel string playing and am really happy with the results. This video by the awesome channel 'FlamencoExplained' is another great resource that goes over the method and it was the tutorial I watched originally:    • The Tale of the Cursed Claws - A Nail Main...   Supplies used in video (not affiliated with any brands, not an amazon affiliate): SuperNail Swiss Silk Wrap: https://a.co/d/cZOAuYb IBD Nail Powder: https://a.co/d/4X8xLt2 Nail Glue: https://a.co/d/j0dX4fx Nail Files: https://a.co/d/9NXFOm4 Beginner Slide Lessons:    • Beginner Slide Guitar Lessons   Check out my other lessons and exercises:    • Lessons   IG:   / mattali5e3   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3TsU9...
