!.!.!.and my fingers hurt so much!. I've heard that they harden quicker if you soak them in some sort of spirit for five minutes a night!. Is this true and if so what sort of spirit!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
i think it might be white spirit, but i personally didn't do that!. It doesn't take long for them to harden (mine took about 2 weeks) but it does depend how much you play, the more you play, the quicker they'll harden!. If they really hurt give yourself a break for a few days until they feel better!. Don't give up! You'll have lots of fun playing in the future it's a great instrument and i love it! :-)Www@Enter-QA@Com
You could try surgical spirits however as a beginner you are probably clamping your finger onto the strings a bit too hard particularly if you are finding it difficult to hold the chord shape and achieve a good sound without dubbing your fingers on the next string!. Find some one who has played for a while to check if your guitar is properly set up as some times they need a bit of a tweak so that the strings are nearer the fret board but can still be played without buzzing the frets!.
and maybe you could try light gauge strings which are easier to push down !. take your time good luckWww@Enter-QA@Com

I have been playing guitar for 3 years now!. I've tried all sorts of stuff but it doesnt help!. If they hurt coz you play too much, its a good sign!. Means they will harden soon!. My remedy is if your fingers hurt, play for 5 minutes and then put them in cold water for a minute or 2!. Then let them dry and over time they will harden and won't hurt anymore!.!
Hope this helps and never stop playing!!Www@Enter-QA@Com
