How long do I need to play acoustic guitar before my fingers stop to hurt so much?
Here is what works for many. Practice or play many times a day, but for short periods of time. 5 minutes each. If your fingers quit hurting change to 8 minutes then 10 and so on.. Get some relief by spraying your fingers with a liberal amount of hairspray. As they are drying dip them in some powder. Baby powder or Talc wok fine. This is like adding another few layers of skin on your finger tips. It will wash off later or will wear off as you play.
