Guitar callous tickles

[David.s]

Odd question, but for the benefit of those musically minded ticklefreaks among us, I'd like to know if guitar callous - you know, the slight roughness that tends to develop on the the tips of a guitar player's fingers (assuming they don't suck) - can have any effect on how tickling feels. Presumably it's not going to make much difference if you're just digging into somebody's ribs or tummy or something, but I can see it altering the sensation quite a bit with those evil tickles where you drag a finger sloooooooowly across someone's skin. So, does it? I could find out myself but I doubt I'll able to for much longer as my cousin managed to destroy my last acoustic, yaaraarghghghgh. My poor guitar! 🙁 Plus poor me for not tickling anyone with my left hand in ages! Or any hand for that matter. Bah.

Well, the callous might tickle, the variation from the smooth skin to rougher skin would cause more of a ticklish sensation. I'm ticklish, but not hyperticklish, so I'm probably not as sensative to minor differences. Honestly though, I think the guitar pick would tickle more!

Heh, well using guitar picks certainly sounds like a good idea! Nothing can beat tickly fingers though, callous or no callous 😛

I've been tickled by a guy that has hard fingertips. I don't really notice a difference.

Sorry, dude, there's no difference. The only thing I've tried is letting my fingernails grow out a little for the purpose of tickling, but that is annoying and affects the guitar playing, so I don't do it very often.
