I just got my very first acoustic guitar and am learning to play using a combination of DVD and instruction book. The whole process is fun! The guitar is a Costco bargin classical guitar less than $100. I figure it’s okay to go the affordable route since I’m learning for the first time. If I’m still playing consistently in a year then I’ll upgrade to a higher quality guitar. Right now I probably couldn’t tell the difference between a $100 guitar and a $500 guitar. Does anyone have advice for the sore fingertip experience?
