Sore fingertips
As you’ve probably already experienced, learning to play guitar can cause some discomfort in the fingertips of the fretting hand. This is quite normal. The best way to deal with it is to keep playing. Regular playing in these initial stages will cause calluses to form on the fingertips. Once these have formed, probably after about two weeks or so of regular playing, the pain will stop. However if you find that blisters are forming instead of calluses then you’ve overdone it. Let your fingers rest for a while. In these early stages it’s a good idea to have regular breaks e.g. every half-an-hour or so.
