3 days into my guitar life now and the tips of my fingers are getting more sore with the practise. I read somewhere else that eventually a callous(?) will be formed. But I want to make sure it's formed in the right place of course.
Do the strings go across the tips or along the tips? Or is it a case of whatever works and stick to it? I used to play the violin, but this is different!
As far as the order of the fingers is concerned, will that be a problem when it comes to making a succession of chords if they are not in the "preferred" order?
Being over 6' tall, short fingers is not a problem I have. It's just getting them to move where I want them, when I want them. Practise practise and more practise I assume? :)
I'm off to find a pipe and have a closer look at the position of my elbow to wrist. I'll keep you posted.
Watch out Eric Clapton!
