Play some Bon Jovi and all the tears of joy from a unicorn crying against the backdrop of the music will cure the guitar and create world peace.

You have to keep playing after your fingers catch on fire...this is how "scalloping" occurs. Ask Malmestienz.

I thought scalloping was from the wank lead guitar player rubbing his dick between the frets all the time? Now I am confused.

Only those who cannot shredz, fake it by rubbing their dick on the fretboard.

Lolz. Apparently, scalloping a neck is not new to stringed instruments. It was around in medieval times but unfortunately, as usual, it is frowned upon because of its association with a handfull of metal guitarists.
