Do you really have weak nails… or are you just neglecting them?

These are photos of the same index fingernail.

In the first photo, you can see a worn, frayed free edge.

In the second, you can see a clean, properly filed edge.

So what changed?

About 30 quick, light passes with a nail file along the free edge.

That’s it.

The purpose isn’t to make the nail shorter. It’s to keep the edge smooth and properly shaped so it doesn’t snag on fabric, develop a tear, and eventually break.

This little bit of maintenance took about a minute—but it may have saved the nail from breaking and costing a guitar player his tone.

I hear this all the time from nylon-string guitarists, both flamenco and classical:

“I have weak nails.”
“I have trouble growing my nails.”

But in many cases, weak nails aren’t the real problem.

Nail neglect is.

And you don’t need to go to a nail salon to take care of your guitar nails. In fact, I generally discourage guitarists from having their playing nails shaped at a salon.

Instead, every couple of days, take a nail file and make a few dozen light passes over the free edge.

Keep it smooth.
Keep it properly shaped.
Keep it free of snags and tears.

Do that consistently, and you may find that your nails can grow as long—or as short—as you actually need them for playing guitar beautifully.

So…

Do you still believe you have weak nails?

Comment “WEAK NAILS” and I’ll help you get to the bottom of your nail problem. 🎸

I’ve talked with a lot of guitarists who left the instrument for years and came back thinking, “Have I lost it?”

Then they pick it up again… and realize the truth:

You didn’t lose your love for music.
You just need a better road back in.

That’s especially true for flamenco — where sounding “right” is just as important as playing the notes.

If you’re coming back after a long break and want structure, feedback, and a clear path, let's hop on a call and see what we can do for you.

Getting back into playing comes with its own challenges, but there’s a right way to restart without frustration.

Right now, I’m refining the on-screen layout of my tutorials — specifically the camera angles and screen arrangements. Some views focus more on the right hand, some highlight the left hand, some show full posture (chair, guitar position, etc.), and others are more simplified and distraction-free.

Before I lock anything in, I’d really value your input.

I’ve put together a short survey with five different screen presentation options. It will only take a moment to complete.

When you vote, please keep this in mind:

👉 Which view helps you most when learning flamenco guitar?

👉 Which angle makes techniques like rasgueado, picado, and compás easier to understand?

👉 Which setup would best support your practice at home?

Your feedback will directly shape how future tutorials are filmed and edited.

Please cast your vote in the ballot field below the screenshots.

Happy International Flamenco Day 🎸🔥

Flamenco isn’t “for the gifted.”
It was born from emotion, grit, rhythm, survival, and truth — not fancy schools or perfect technique.
UNESCO calls it an Intangible Cultural Heritage because it’s human history set to rhythm. When you practice — even 5 minutes — you’re building discipline, identity, emotion, and a voice that matters.

So today:
1️⃣ Pick up your guitar
2️⃣ Don’t play to impress
3️⃣ Play something honest

Greatness isn’t perfect practice — it’s showing up with feeling.
Hit a chord.
Make it count.

🎶 "Every note tells a story. As musicians, we often face challenges that can hinder our connection with our audience. Are you feeling:

1️⃣ A fear of hitting a skill plateau? 

2️⃣ An emotional disconnect while playing? 

3️⃣ Uncertainty about performing in front of others?

You’re not alone! Let’s address these together and elevate your musical journey. Book a call with me at www.FlamencoGuitarCourse.com/ or text FLAMENCO to (949) 992-1102

🌟 I’ve been nervous to share this publicly… There was a time when my guitar playing felt uninspired, unable to translate my emotions into music. 🎸 Despite years of practice, I found myself stuck, craving a soulful expression. Through dedicated learning and expert guidance, I discovered the transformative power of music.
If you've ever felt this way, you’re not alone. Let's discover your potential together! 💪 #MusicalJourney #Transformation

My Dad Craig Stubbs passed away recently and we miss him. He was an equestrian and landscape artist, a racing jockey (in his early 20s), and a carpenter. He loved the hills of his home town in southern Utah. RIP Dad.
