now im sure anybody who is reading this and plays gutair will just call this pathetic, but ive been attempting for only about 15 minutes and my finger tips hurt really bad already :[ any tips and or suggestions of how to get them to stop hurting faster so i can practice more!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Congratulations! And Happy Birthday! It's not pathetic; it's very cool, but if you can, take some lessons or even just sit down with a friend who can play (and is good at teaching)!. But for the other part!. Your fingers are going to sting a while at first!. You can use a little witch hazel or something on your fingertips, but mainly you just have to play a while until they sting a little too much, then come back to it when you can!. You'll build up callouses (they don't look bad or anything) and then it won't hurt!. If it really bothers you, there are lighter strings (and you should make sure the guitar's set up right, so you don't have to press harder or further than you should need to), and different materials, but mainly you just play until you build up callouses!.Www@QuestionHome@Com actually your 15 min regiment is perfect, anymore than that at first for a beginner is just too much to handle for uncallosed fingers and you'll have to much down time waiting for your fingers to heal up instead of callous up, tip, have your guitar set up by a luthier or good shop, it will be easier to play and it isn't that expensive, time will take care of the sore finger part!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Stay with it, the skin on your fingertips will eventually harden up and you'll be able to play the chords and lose the soreness!.!.let your fingers recover tonight and go for it again tomorrow,!. Dont give up you can do it !.!.the basic Guitar is'nt that difficult!.!. Good Luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com You have to build up callouses on your fingertips so it wont hurt when you play!.!.!.!.and the only way to do that is to PLAY alot!.!.!.and consistently after a feww weeks it wont hurtWww@QuestionHome@Com go on youtube and do what they do it might take a little while but it will doWww@QuestionHome@Com |
