I've been playing acoustic (and some electric) for a few months now. My finger tips are adapted to it so they don't hurt anymore when I play. The problem is that the skin on my fingertips keeps getting ripped up, it's thicker now because I play everyday so i don't feel it but I see other players who you can't even tell play because their finger tips are smooth. My finger tips are ripped up. Is there anything I can do to help it?

Well, they've probably been playing longer than you, so there skin is probably even more adapted... so just have patience and play often.

There's something strangely musical about noise.

change the strings to 9's if it happens when u are playing electric, they will be easier to bend.

I'm a violinist, but I have the same problem. Moisturising hand care cream helps mine :)

It'll get better with time.  Just keep practicing and your fingers should get better.
