ever see some kind of finger thimble that a person could use to keep
your fingers from touching two strings at once?
I'm thinking of something plastic that would go over your 4 frettin'
fingers.



I've never heard of such a thing and suspect it would be awkward and the
reduced feeling would make it harder to sense position.

Are your fingertips that thick? There have been some great guitarists
with big hands. (Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi, Mark Knopfler)

Try not to push down any harder than absolutely necessary. After your
callouses build a bit the tips will be harder and less squishy. If all
else fails you could play bass... right Doug?

That could be it. I get the string indent on my finger tips.
