Answer 1

Answer 2

Yes it is normal, it takes about three months of daily practice to get good callouses on your fingers and then you won't even think about it. Yes I play classical guitar and acoustic, and also teach, no instrument is easy to play unless it's the triangle. It takes time, daily study, and patience. but in the end it's all worth it. I've loved it most of my life, you'll never have a boring moment when you play guitar, there's always something new to learn. Try to get a teacher, and I tell everyone now that summers here some college students teach during the summer time, so check that out. If you can't afford that go to Sam Ash and get a good method book, ask the clerk to help you, they usually play themselves, get the book with the Cd in the back, they are great for helping you to follow your progress. I would suggest more but you didn't say what style you want to play, but check out these sites if you have time, this way you won't develop any bad habits, they are hard to correct once you develop them !!

Answer 3

You're non - picking hand will get very sore finger tips and wrist until you build up strength and callouses in your finger tips. This will last for about one month and then go away as long as you keep practicing. There are many websites to learn guitar nowadays. Check out fenderplayers.com. Remember practice. The other bozos know nothing that are saying your supposed to use a pick. The non pick fingers will get sore and raw like you rubbed them across sand paper but it will go away and you'll dig every minute afterwards.


Rock on!

Answer 4

Learning to play the guitar can be difficult for those thinking they will be playing proficiently within the first week. It takes years to develop expertise in the art and your fingertips will be so sore you will often think at quitting.

Once you get past the sore fingertips and build up some respectable calluses you could then be on the way to some serious learning sessions.

If you can't stand the pain and discomfort of sore fingertips until the calluses come in then your best bet is to learn to play another instrument, such as a piano, saxophone, trumpet, etc.

Answer 5

you will have tough skin on your fingers can you deal with that?

if you try to smooth or remove it you will keep getting sores and rebuilding callouses as long as you play....

other than that i found lessons annoying but that is just me apparently. I found pracitcing the C major scale in a dark room helped my fingers to find their place more easily.its all about sound and feel so remove the other senses.

When you start playing and especially if you are a teenage girl, appearances are everything.

Being watched or even thinking how you look while you muddle through something new, is very distracting to the process.

Put on your favoritre tunes turn off or dim the lights and just try to pick out notes from it. and eventually try to work them into the major scale.

Answer 6

Playing the guitar requires a lot of determination.. yeah your fingers do get sore, it's normal. Try to get used to it. In other words, it's not that easy.

Beginners should use a guitar pick, advanced players should try playing with or without the pick.

Answer 7

They are one-of-a-kind matters. Playing guitar is one-of-a-kind than gambling guitar hero. The assessment does not paintings. Some folks aren't as musical adept at gambling devices as others

Answer 8

i've been playing for about 6 years now, and yes, it is hard.
the reason your fingers are sore is because of your strings. if you wish to be rid of some of the pain, i suggest nylon strings. however, the pain will eventually go away the more you play. your fingers will build calluses, and they'll get stronger, so don't worry about that.
it gets easier to play the more you practice. it is very enjoyable, so don't give up!

Answer 9

it is normal for your fingers to get sore when you start to get better your fingers will not hurt. the guitar is kind of hard at first but it gets easier once you get the hang of it.

Answer 10

no its not hard. but i taught myself. see my dad is a guitar sellsman. so he brings home guitars and ive been playing since i was 5 years old. so if you practice plenty its not hard. and yea its normal
