Get your Nails into Shape! Here's how.
Written by nukelele   
To get the best tone from your playing it is important to ensure that you have a good nail shape at a good length, and that your nail edges are well-sanded and polished. The optimal nail shape and length varies from player to player, depending much on how the nail grows on the finger (whether the nails look straight or curved if you look at your fingers with the fingertips pointing at you), and the angle of the right wrist in relation to the strings (whether you play with a relatively straight right wrist or with right knuckles parallel to the strings). The key thing is experimentation to find out what nail shape and length is best for you, and here, patience is required!

Below are some suggestions of what you can try to get started off in the right direction.
