Know anything about guitar?
I am just starting out on guitar. I know a few chords but hardly anything about guitars. If you know anything about guitar playing or the guitars themselves let me know. I am mostly wondering about how long it will take for my fingers to get tough. I've had my guitar for about two days and have been playing all day. my fingers are already starting to feel a bit tough but not tough enough. it only hurts a bit.
If you know anything at all about guitars please tell me.

Try tapping the = string as you play without pushing your finger down on the 5th fret any string possibly 3rd 4th or 5th and you should hear a higher pitch than normal, this is called a harmonic.
Also if you have your thumb close to the edge of the pick and hit it to the string correctly after picking there should be another high pitched sound, this is the pinch harmonic, i take it you know about hammer ons and pull offs?? if not google them.

Play for around 2 hrs at a go, then have a break. Play every day and your fingers should be 'worn in' after a week or two.
