Do your finger tips hurt from playing guitar? If so ⛔️ STOP NOW! ⛔️
One of the complaints I get most often from beginner guitar players is that they can't practice for long enough because the tip of their fingers start hurting very quickly 🥺
💡 What if I told you that there is a way to stop this INSANTLY? 💯
➡️ Not only that, the technique below will also improve your playing, speed of chord placement changes and will mean you can play for longer!
📋 First, here are some facts when it comes to finger pain from playing guitar 👇
⚠️If you haven't played in a couple of weeks, you're starting from scratch...build it up slow
⚠️electric is easier than acoustic
⚠️not all acoustics are the same - setup matters
⚠️holding down chords will hurt for a while
With that in mind - here's my top 5 tips for less painful finger tips!
✅️ press down less hard, just enough to get the note ringing out but no more
✅️use good positioning with your fretting fingers right up against the frets
✅️ play little and often, rather than for hours only once a week
✅️learn some single note melodies, not just chords
🎵 Final tip - mix it up! 🎵 Something hurting? Stop that and play something different!
