One of the main causes of the usual beginner fingertip pain being worse than it has to be is pressing much harder than you need to.

Experiment a little to see exactly how much pressure you need to apply in order to get the note to sound. Pressing any harder is just wasting energy. Also make sure your fingers are just behind the fret, which also allows you to get away with applying less pressure whilst still getting a good tone.


I wish this forum had a "block user" feature. Possibly I'm not the only one......
