Yup your right by the way, its really addictive. I play for about an hour or two. Fingers do hurt still but gotten used to it. Still haven't figured out what style should i play, i am from India so gonna stick to classical with a mix of blues and rock. So i guess i will have to learn to play everything.
Gonna be a tough ride but you don't succeed without hard work.
By the way, pretty nice guitar you got there and nice playing too... :)
Enjoy
