Practice Aids

Sore fingertips are the number one reason beginners quit guitar. Gorilla Tips fingertip protectors let you keep practicing while your calluses develop, so you can build playing time without the pain that makes you want to put the guitar down.

Gorilla Tips are clear silicone caps that fit over your fretting-hand fingertips, providing a thin protective barrier between your skin and the strings. They're flexible enough that you can still feel the strings and frets through the material, so your technique develops naturally. Unlike thick rubber caps that numb your fingers, Gorilla Tips maintain the tactile feedback you need to learn proper finger placement and pressure.

They're not just for beginners — experienced players use Gorilla Tips to keep practicing through cracked or injured fingertips, and they're popular with players who switch between nylon and steel-string guitars where different callus patterns are needed.

Available in four sizes (Extra Small, Small, Medium, and Large) to fit any hand. Measure your fingertip width and check the sizing guide to find your fit. Each set includes protectors for all four fretting fingers. Gorilla Tips work with guitar, bass, ukulele, banjo, mandolin, and any other stringed instrument.
