I've been playing for 2 days now, about 40 minutes a day, and noticed today that both my index & middle finger have a "slice" in the them. When I say slice, I mean- it never drew blood- but you can tell that maybe the first 2 layers of skin were cut into by the strings.

Since I don't have calluses yet, should I just play anyway to toughen them out? :rolleyes:
