Hey ouchiefingers, good to hear your fingers are hardening up, the sore fingers are one of the downsides of starting up guitar, one of the brickwalls we hit on the learning curve, when I started my dog used to get up and walk away the minute I picked up the guitar didn't even give me a chance to start playing, thankfully she doesn't do it any more so I assume I've got better, hope you're enjoying playing and have fun
