It may sound strange talking about comfort and ease learning guitar playing techniques, but they do play a huge part with your picking and strumming that new guitar. As you will soon begin to understand.

Not everyones fingers are the same lengths and what works for the person with short, stubby fingers doesn't work for the guitar player who has long, slender fingers.

Hang in there and keep trying to learn guitar because it is a long process and to be truthful, the best advice that any guitar teacher can give is the age-old line of practice, practice,and more practice!

Only practice in playing your guitar is going to improve what you have learned so far.If you aren't willing to dedicate a lot of practice time, more than likley you are going to throw in the towel because you will not be progressing fast enough and your fingertips are too sore to continue.
