Trying to learn the ropes (or strings for that matter)--and dealing with the growing pains of getting the finger positioning perfect has been the challenge. I know I have to be patient to let my hands build up the strength. What is the recommended daily practice? I'm pretty sure the "tinny" sound is coming from not applying the right pressure on the strings, but the tips get sore pretty quickly at the very beginning and I don't know the balance between push through the discomfort to build up the strength and give yoruself a break to heal.
