I can't quite get into guitar because my fingertip nerves are so hypersensitive, if i make a sudden movement, OUCH, then like for 4 weeks, i cant touch anything and it's aweful. Some people say they have soreness, that would be easy to tolerate but not what i have. Do i just have some sort of serious nervous system disorder?

Lord, the answers here! Let's all play doctor AND guitar teacher too! OK, now I'm a real guitar teacher. But not a doctor. Here's my guitar teacher answer: You sound like you have a pinched nerve in one or more fingers. I'm NOT a doctor, but I've seen this in students and colleauges before. If this is the case, no amount of callouses is going to stop it. If it's that bad,try a NYLON string guitar, not a steel. This won't hurt your fingers so darn much.
If that doesn't work, try the drums, trombone or other instrument with no fingertips involved.

Hypersensitive Fingertips

It could be the beginning of carpal tunnel, it might be the way you're holding the guitar, the body is pinching a nerve in your elbow. Either way (and i might be wrong on both counts) you should really see a doctor. It sounds like something that not only isn't going to get better but could get a whole lot worse. As someone who suffers from hypersensitive finger-tips (and toes too) I implore you please, PLEASE have this looked after.

It is probably the way you are holding your guitar. You are putting pressure on the brachial nerve which can cause a lot of pain. I suggest you change the way you hold your guitar. I also suggest you play while sitting or standing up perfectly straight. This is a problem for ALL musicians. You may wish to study the Alexandru method.

Playing Guitar comes with PAIN. You must play everyday regardless of Pain. Once a few Coalesces Build on y our tips of your finger. You will feel much better. Been there done that, and If I stop playing my Guitar the pain Starts back up again.
I hope this helps you. JUST KEEP PLAYING.

You probobly do. That really sucks that you can't play guitar.
Try to go to a doctor and see what you can do about it.
