blacktrix, don't be cruel with yourself.

anyway, davidlow7, i think it's good you keep practising in your room over and over. Maybe one day you'll become SO darn good that you'll let your friends listen to yourself. But because they don't know nothing about music, they can't realize how good you are. You're obviously very disappointed, and instead of suicide, you decide to practice few more years so that even "untrained" people can appreciate your music and notice your sickly unatural ability to master the axe. So you keep training ovver and over. 50 yrs later...
By that time you're already so old that you totally lost touch with any friend you had when you were younger, and you can't even record yourself because computer technology had become so much more complicated than last time you lay your hands on a keyboard. How do look at a 3D holographic screen anyway ? Well, too late, you past away and nobody had the supreme chance to listen to your guitar playing. Nvmind, they all were a bunch of ignorant pretentious loosers, because they didn't want to listen to you. .. Or did they ? Fjooking memory...

I must be worse then, I can't even play a ping.

WTF... you have lost it, haven't you??

Hi GeNe! guess who??

Oh my God you're Jackie Chan!!!!

(Family Guy inside joke)

?????

nah ... GeNe is my friend from school ... didn't know he was on Lowyat.Net

theres a plaster for playing guitar...can go buy 10 in a pack for only RM 2.50

the pain will go away ...when i was active loooonngg looongg ago.. i played so much until all my fingers got blisters...after while they go numb and get a bit hard, i used to use ernie ball electric strings on my acoustic, abit softer on the hands, acoustic strings were a bit hard for me...as for sound suited me at the time...(me amateur playing for fun only)

also if u slide a lot u can use fast fret.

I say, if you can't handle the guitar strings...... Stop playing.

i agree with blacktrix... if ur eager to play.. pain = nothing... no pain no gain man.. when iwas starting.. hurts alot.. but i kept playing cuz i know its own gain

Poor me. After nearly a year of not playing (my guitar back home ler, hard to bring it to my dorm, takut hilang) my fingers are soft again. Funny thing is when I play on my friends guitar it doesn't really hurt. Even if the calouses are gone you somehow learn to ignore the pain already.

when the 1st and 2nd day i started to touch my guitar....i felt pain on my fret hand fingers.....but i dun want to stop playing it....just bear the pain.....but when the 2nd week(this week)....i felt ntg with it unless i pressure the string hardly.....i'm not sure whether this happened after i changed the string or the cell of my fingers all dead...cannot felt pain anymore....

Advice: DON'T CONTINUE PLAYING YOUR GUITAR IF YOUR FINGERS ARE STARTING TO BLEED.

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
It was summer of '69

Bryan Adams, Summer of 69.

Aiyo, it's like torturing yourself. Don't have to be that "rajin" to practice la...

play until bleed too much
means guitar set up wrong liao...
