Yeah, definitely keep playing the way you do. Your fingers will get used to it. What I did when I was starting to play was after a good long session, I would take four ice cubes out of the freezer and put my aching fingertips on each one, on a plate and watch TV or something. Alleviated the pain like THAT (snaps fingers).

How long have you been playing? Most beginners do have a lot of problems with their fingers hurting. If you play everyday, in a month or so you're finger tips will begin to develop caluses and you will no longer feel the pain from playing.

I started playing guitar a year ago; for the first few weeks, my fingers developed incredibly sore, tender callouses. If you keep at it, your fingertips will toughen up, you won't feel any more pain, and you'll be able to do slides and bends without cringing!
