- As requested, more ways to prevent and deal with breaking, cracking, or bad nails on the classical guitar. I go over basic technique to prevent breaks, using products like Hard as Nails to strengthen the nail, how to repair a break, and what to do if all else fails.

You are the first person to recommend a metal nail file and demonstrate the "flat" filing technique. Thank you, I have to try that.
"Hard as Hoof" nail strengthening cream (Walmart) seems to help (my opinion).
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. Another tip for everyone: keep away from dish water and other warm soapy water. It will make your nails soft and more likely to break.
cheers mate this video really saved me when my thumbnail started breaking "i play flamenco" Cheers :)
I polish mine smooth :P My nails are thankfully strong enough it's not an issue, and it's worth it to me to have the nail look good
Thanks for the Video ... My nails are weak and it's going down ... it hooks the strings ... any Advice? thanks again.
O.P.I. Matte Top Coat for those too self concious about shiny nails (as a final coat).
Good idea. You can also buff it with a piece of sand paper.
this is not good :(
