Put bandaids on the tips of your fingers, BEFORE they get raw.

That is a good suggestion. I have to tell people that there is pain involved when playing the guitar. Also that they can develop callous’ involved.

“Put bandaids on the tips of your fingers, BEFORE they get raw.”

I’ve played for ~60 years. My advice is to work through the pain. It only lasts a couple of weeks, then you’re good for life.

My fingertips have never gotten raw from playing. Only ever got calluses.
