I was opening a sterilizing toothbrush cover and sliced the tip of my finger from the plastic.

Normally that isnt something really to care about, but I play guitar and had a gig the next day.

Playing an acoustic steel string guitar for 45 minutes with a cut on the top of your finger fuckin sucks.

Didn't you use a guitar pick?

He's talking about fretting, like when a guitar player presses some strings on the long neck part of the guitar, that makes strings ring out certain notes

Yeah haha don't worry I don't think most people outside of the world of musicians understand that's how it works.

What particularly struck me when I picked it up was actually how physically literally painful it was, and the only way it really stops being so is if you develop calluses on your fingers from the repeated injury of pressing the tips into thin metal wires.
