playing the guitar

How can I toughen up my fingertips?
Yes, fingertips hurt when you start playing guitar. They may actually hurt for a while and there is nothing much to do about it than keep practicing. They will toughen up eventually, the pain will disappear and the sound you produce when you press the strings will improve.
What strings should I use?
The best strings are those that sound good to you! Try all the brands you have access to, combine strings from two different sets, use strings for electric guitars on an acoustic guitar… Do not be afraid to experiment.
What do I need to learn to play the guitar?
First of all, patience! Nobody was born with perfect coordination between the left hand and the right hand. Then you will have to develop your musical hearing, the sense of rhythm and not ignore the basic notions of theory either.
A skilled guitarist who masters this instrument will always rely on the combination of personal sensibility and technical skills.
How much time will take me to learn playing?
Well, it depends on the level you want to reach, the time you spend practicing, your personal discipline, the implication of the teacher who guides your steps and the repertoire you choose to approach.
