I quickly learned that I had to keep my strings clean after I played and just play a lot to get over the calluses ..even pass the point when they would get dry and crack which was my case but I would sand them off with regular sandpaper.. sometimes I use some crazy glue just to try it out on my fingertips and those little tips really help and go a long way also a lighter touch on the strings that is a technic helper right there. Keep playing.

When I started playing the guitar at age 9, 26 years ago my fingers were so sore for the first two weeks! I almost have up but I had such a passion for music and the guitar was my all time favorite instrument! Once you get passed that first month of playing, the important thing to do is keep playing every day for at least 30 minutes (or longer if you like) building up those caliceus is important! I also started playing on an acoustic, then as I got older started playing electrical as well! My advice would be to start on an acoustic, you'll build up your hand and finger streangth due to a wider neck, and the strings are thicker making those caliceus build faster! Practice even if your fingers hurt, and have fun, because being able to play the guitar is awesome! Lol

I’ve been playing for a few years now, but I never seemed to form significantly sturdy calluses, just stronger skin. I’d like to note that I’ve been a competitive swimmer for a few years, and was in the water about 7 hours a day (I also work as a swim instructor). Due to corona, I stopped swimming, and like you said, my calluses instantly hardened, which is so interesting to me. I watched this video because I wasn’t sure if calluses this pronounced were normal, and low and behold they are LOL. Which is strange, because even before these reptile scales formed on my fingers, I didn’t really experience pain from playing for long amounts of time.

It will be helpful to practice the keys in a particular group example key of C, change chords between the keys then learn another one like the key of G changing chords between keys in that group, will help you with key changes, even if you just use one to two at a time, increasing the number of keys as you get the chords correctly you will gain speed at your own pace. You are alright with the time do not worry about it, but practice as much and as often as possible. It is better to practice twice a day 10 to 15 minutes than a plan of 10 hours weekly and no practice because of life issues interference with plan. You can do it! Patience and persistent will get you through.

Don't practice chords, your improvement will be slow and frustrating and you'll give it up. Practice songs (beginner acoustic guitar book) it should show you how to form the chords.

Good luck in your guitar practice bro. (1.5 years of playing guitar)

The problem with callus is we grow them than we picked them, it's a annoying loop. Try putting a little bit of super glue on your finger tips and parts that touch the guitar. It's a little uncomfortable at first, but you won't feel the pain. Plus, you can peel peel if off after, it's a odd satisfaction to peel it.

So glad I found this video. I wasn't sure if it was normal. My fingers hurt so bad I can't play today, my left hand are all numb and calloused and the right hand is forming blisters. Thanks for the video.

It took me two weeks, to not feel the pain while practicing my electric guitar. You will eventually get over it, so keep practicing, you'll be surprised that it won't hurt anymore if you constantly strum the same chord for a thousand times.

I switched to low tension strings and I lowered the action at the nut and the bridge. Easily done with a file. The strings only need a tiny little pressure now. No more pain. Nu calluses needed. Also better for your wrist.

I'm watching this because I've been working on "" no one like you"" and my fingers feel horrible. I can barely touch the strings. I've been playing 45 years Washing dishes make mine tender and when I play they damage easier.. I have to lay off guitar 1-2 days when this bad. I have 73 les Paul so she plays great.

Practice 20 to 30 mins every day then once your calluses start developing you'll be able to practice for longer improve exponentially after 1 to 2 months of small practices every day after school.

To cut down on finger pain, get these popular strings: D'Addario Chromes Flatwound Electric Guitar strings are famed for their smooth feel and warm, mellow tone. The strings are wound and then polished to produce an incredibly smooth surface.

I had nerve problems and had to put my guitar aside for nearly 15 years, now it’s resolved and I’m learning to play again almost from scratch. One tip I’ve heard is to push your thumbnail on your fretting hand into the tips of the fingers just enough to feel it which will help build calluses. You can do it any time, just sitting down or driving or whatever. I’ve been doing it, I can’t really tell if it’s helping but I don’t think it’s hurting anything.

Lmao, I remember when I was playing for like 2 hours straight and I had a break. When I picked my guitar up again my hand scraped the high e string and my hand started bleeding because it was sharp. I still have the scar and every time I look at it I’m laughing so hard!

I have gone through three major finger stages this month. First was the initial soreness for about 10 days, then calluses started to build which led to a 24/7 numbness which was really nice. That lasted for about 10 more days. Now I am working on my speed between chords while guiding with the root finger. Then after a week or so the calluses started to come off in big chunks exposing new pink skin underneath. Now I am back to a little pain but not too bad....but now my shredded calluses are grabbing strings themselves and messing up my transitions! I guess this is some sort of stage I will have to work through until the next.

Callouse's are the KEY to good tone. All the phrasing techniques: bending/hammer on's/pull off's, are all easier and sound better with callouses.

For classical guitar, a lot of the time for their techique, they'll have the guitar on their non-dominant leg so they can raise the fretboard higher. It's not for everyone, but maybe that can help out a little!
