Let's discuss this sadness. :(

Hitchhiker's thumb doesn't help.

Use metal strings, and/or play more.

Personally, I find that nylon strings aren't conducive to developing callouses.

Hitchhiker thumb is only good for a 42 string guitar :wacko:

I have steel strings; I play a lot.

They should callus pretty quickly. What gauge of string are you using? Are you pressing down on them hard enough?
