Don't worry, the fingers will start to build caluses (? sp) and the soreness will eventually go away. Until then you just suffer through it and keep having fun.

I think you'll find this site quite helpful in getting you started. Starting with Fundamentals 1 is a great place to start. Just take it slow and make sure you understand something before you move on. If you don't understand then everything else will be like Greek to you. I've taught some and know that I found my students needed to understand what I was covering with them thoroughly before we moved on. If you find you're having a hard time with something try using the forum to get your answers and understanding.

Have fun! See ya around.
