I just started playing yesterday (I'm LOVING the Guitar Tricks lessons by the way), and I'm already in love with the guitar (only played the piano in the past). I feel like I could sit and learn for hours, but my fingertips (on my left hand) are so damaged from the strings that they are almost bleeding. I'm a girl, so I have softer fingers, and I cut down my nails so I would be able to master the curled finger technique. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is it better for me to let my fingers suffer so that they get tougher? Or are there other options, like wrapping the tips with tape?
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks so much!!
