Maybe you should save them, just do a bit of light practicing. In time they will become calloused. Try to get some strength into your fingers, the pinkie particularly.
Ok followed a few u tube vids - trying to nail a couple of chords .....not easy.
Fingers sore as many as predicted - should I practice on through the pain - or save my fingers for Monday's lesson (1 hour long)
Couldn't this be the tuners slipping? A good idea not to press too hard anyway.the other thing is don’t press too hard on the strings, I was guilty of this, all you end up doing is pulling them out of tune, it had me baffled at first as to what on earth was going on, just keep going, you’re going to get there
Or accidentally pulling the strings slightly sideways...?Couldn't this be the tuners slipping?

Bump.
been twanging away for almost 6 months (oh er missus) - and having 30 minute lessons once a week. got a few chords sorted - changes are still very slow though.
One thing im struggling to grasp is beat or rhythm - my instructor refers to it as 1 2 3 & 4 - and the and 4 bits has be done quite quickly - can't suss it - can't find much online about this technique either - anyone got links to such a tutorial ?
