I was in the same boat as you ron, i had sore fingers for a few days,and i just played through it, so my body went, ok, so your aren't listening so i will give you blisters instead, then i had to stop. a few days on, the blisters are gone,still a bit sore though so only practice an hour a day until i develop those very attractive sounding finger tip calluses (mmmm cant wait) ;-)
