I'm having that right now.
Anybody know the cure/the way to stop it?
My heart wants to keep playing, but my left hand tells me to stop.
:P

Stop.....you shouldn't be playing if your fingers are bleeding. That's pretty gross. Eventually you'll start to form calluses, so that won't be a problem. If your joints hurt...again...stop. You can cause permanent injury to yourself if you keep playing while you are in pain. Listen to your body.

Haha I admire your ambition to play guitar to the extent of bleeding fingers.

But yes, you should probably stop and let them heal. I actually would use a small amount of bagbalm on my tips of the fingers when I started playing. It would make it so my fingers were not dry enough to crack and bleed. Although if you use too much, it'll probably make your fingers too slick and slippery.

As for the joints, before you start playing, run your hands under hot water for a minute or two. Makes it so it loosens up the joints and makes them a little more flexible.

Bleeding fingers are not good. May I ask how old are you. The joint problem could be another problem, Be careful, relax and enjoy the ride. it all comes together
