Hi Calston, its all about practice and getting your hands moving and strengthening up, you have to remember that playing the guitar is a lot of work for the fingers, work they aren't really used to. So the trick is to get them working,and strong.. There are two ways you can do this, the one i adopted was the pentatonic scale (might as well learn something at the same time) which is an easy one to remember and just sit and slowly play that, you can actually feel your hands and fingers get stronger (when typing for instance) the other way is to just sit and just play each string with each finger 1.2.3.4 next string 1.2.3.4 and so on in the same position without having to worry about learning a scale at the same time. Im nearly 51 just in case you are wondering so i know where you are coming from but your fingers will get stronger in no time at all.. ;-)
