    I haven't played for about a year (twenty years of playing before that), but yeah, the hard fingers make it easier to move around the fret-board. Not too good when you're stroking your Misses' juicy bits though...

    First you develop calluses, then later your skin just becomes thicker - no rough bits.

    The calluses help harden your fingertips and over time, you develop a very sensitive touch. It truly allows you to make your guitar talk.
