It does hurt less as you practice more. Your fingers will build up callouses (sp?), these are rubbery pads on the ends of your fingers.

I remember when I first picked up guitar, I was learning major chords, I went round to a friends house so I could use his electric (a Stagg Strat); I went home at the end of the night with blisters on the end of every finger!

its not the tip of my fingers im worried about lol, its my knuckes they hurt like hell, whitch kind of effets the presure i can use while pushing down the strings!! and i cant really move on to minor scales or major chords or domanantes just yet! u know that big famouse american instament shop called Fender? ive got the dvd thats recomended by them. and your right just doing the same thing over for a half an hour can be more boaring than watching ur gran parents fish!!!and not to meantion fustrating and putting yourself in a deeper depresion!but any way u still havnt told me weather learning new chords as u progress becomes easyer :confused:
