Members W.Kyle.C Posted January 9, 2007 Members Posted January 9, 2007 don't worry, that is completely normal and happens to everyone when they just start playing. It will hurt like crap for about a week and a half or so but after about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks you will develop calluses(sp) on your fingertips and then it won't hurt at all.....actually nothing will hurt your fingertips. it's kind of cool.
Members Splendor Posted January 9, 2007 Members Posted January 9, 2007 I play for a few hours every day now. It will become much easier.
Members babablowfish Posted January 9, 2007 Members Posted January 9, 2007 I agree. The first week or two are hell because of the pain in your fingertips and the difficulty putting your hand into different chord positions. Once you are past this - and it will be a very short time - then it is just a matter of practicing.
